The COVID-19 pandemic caused discontinuities in cancer care (CC) in most countries. Here, the authors describe the real-world impacts of implementing a contingency plan employing telemedicine for CC. A retrospective study of patients who received CC through telemedicine at the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplasicas, Peru, from March 2020 to February 2021 was conducted. Impacts were measured by comparing the amount of CC administered during the pandemic versus the prior year. A total of 16,456 telemedicine visits were carried out. An annual comparative analysis showed a gap of 23% and telemedicine accounted for 27.6% of the total CC administered during the pandemic. A high (4.50/5) level of patient satisfaction with telemedicine was reported. Telemedicine is an important tool to facilitate the continuity of CC.
2019年冠状病毒病疫情导致大多数国家的癌症护理出现中断。在此,作者描述了实施一项针对癌症护理采用远程医疗的应急计划所产生的实际影响。对2020年3月至2021年2月在秘鲁国家肿瘤疾病研究所通过远程医疗接受癌症护理的患者进行了一项回顾性研究。通过比较疫情期间与上一年提供的癌症护理量来衡量影响。总共进行了16456次远程医疗问诊。年度比较分析显示差距为23%,远程医疗占疫情期间提供的总癌症护理量的27.6%。报告显示患者对远程医疗的满意度较高(4.50/5)。远程医疗是促进癌症护理连续性的重要工具。
