To summarize the current literature on the psychological impact of COVID-19 on patients with cancer, both in terms of the impact of the virus itself and of changes in the healthcare system; and to describe current recommendations for supporting patients with cancer during the pandemic.
Multiple studies have shown that patients with cancer experience high levels of psychological distress during COVID-19. Factors of greater vulnerability have been described as: being young, being female, low socioeconomic status, lower educational level, having low levels of hope or optimism, lower social support, and having cancer with curative intent. The severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2pandemic has accelerated the healthcare digitization process. All departments involved in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer have made contingency plans to minimize the impact on patients.
Psychological distress is one of the most frequently occurring symptoms in patients with cancer during the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a restructuring of the healthcare system. The paradigm shift may pose a challenge for both healthcare professionals and patients.
总结 COVID-19 对癌症患者心理影响的现有文献，包括病毒本身的影响和医疗体系变化的影响；并描述在大流行期间支持癌症患者的当前建议。
多项研究表明，癌症患者在 COVID-19 期间经历高度的心理困扰。更易受影响的因素包括：年轻、女性、社会经济地位低、教育程度低、希望或乐观程度低、社会支持低以及具有治愈性意图的癌症。严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2 大流行加速了医疗保健数字化进程。癌症诊断和治疗的所有科室都制定了应急计划，以将对患者的影响降到最低。
在大流行期间，心理困扰是癌症患者最常出现的症状之一。COVID-19 大流行导致了医疗体系的重组。这种范式转变可能对医疗保健专业人员和患者都构成挑战。
