BACKGROUND/AIM: In 2020, because of coronavirus pandemic, medical activities changed. The aim of this report is to compare the volumes of Pisa radiotherapy activities from March 9 to May 31, 2020, with the same period in 2019.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
We analyzed the activity of our Unit to evaluate how logistics changes, related to the COVID-19 epidemic, impacted on volumes of radiotherapy (RT) activity and on the number of cases of COVID-19 infections observed in healthcare professionals and patients.
RESULTS
The total number of first-time visits between March-May 2020 was reduced by 18%, probably due to delays in diagnosis and histological tests as well as the temporary closure of the operating rooms. None of the healthcare professionals and only two patients contracted the infection.
CONCLUSION
We were able to treat all patients referred to our hospital and we were able to reduce risk of infection for both our patients and healthcare staff, guaranteeing continuum of care for our oncological patients.
背景/目的：2020 年，由于冠状病毒大流行，医疗活动发生了变化。本报告的目的是比较 2020 年 3 月 9 日至 5 月 31 日与 2019 年同期比萨放射治疗活动的数量。
患者和方法
我们分析了我们单位的活动，以评估与 COVID-19 疫情相关的后勤变化如何影响放射治疗（RT）活动的数量以及在医护人员和患者中观察到的 COVID-19 感染病例的数量。
结果
2020 年 3 月至 5 月期间的首次就诊总数减少了 18%，这可能是由于诊断和组织学检查的延迟以及手术室的临时关闭所致。没有医护人员和只有两名患者感染了该病毒。
结论
我们能够治疗所有转介到我们医院的患者，并且能够降低我们的患者和医护人员感染的风险，为我们的肿瘤患者提供持续的护理。
