Endometrial cancer represents an ideal target to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 being the most frequent gynecological malignancy in Italy, generally detected at early stages and correlated with favorable oncological outcomes. The present comparative retrospective study carried out at Campus Bio-medico University Foundation in Rome aims to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the presentation, diagnosis and treatment of EC. All women with a histological diagnosis of non-endometrioid and endometrioid endometrial cancer between 1 March 2018 and 31 October 2022 were included. The number of cases was higher in period 2 (95 vs. 64 cases). Time to diagnosis did not show statistically significant differences but in period 2, 92.06% of the diagnoses were made following abnormal uterine bleeding, while in period 1, only 67.02% were. The waiting time for the intervention was significantly shorter in period 2. Definitive histology, FIGO staging, surgical technique and adjuvant therapy did not show significant differences between the two periods. The study demonstrates that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a direct effect on the diagnostic delay, tumor staging and type of therapy but rather on the presentation pattern of endometrial cancer.
子宫内膜癌是评估新冠疫情影响的理想对象,它是意大利最常见的妇科恶性肿瘤,通常在早期被发现,且肿瘤学预后良好。在罗马的圣心天主教大学基金会开展的这项比较性回顾性研究,旨在评估新冠疫情对子宫内膜癌的表现、诊断和治疗的影响。纳入了2018年3月1日至2022年10月31日期间所有经组织学诊断为非子宫内膜样和子宫内膜样子宫内膜癌的女性。第2阶段的病例数更多(95例对64例)。诊断时间没有显示出统计学上的显著差异,但在第2阶段,92.06%的诊断是在子宫异常出血后做出的,而在第1阶段,这一比例仅为67.02%。第2阶段干预的等待时间明显更短。最终组织学、国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)分期、手术技术和辅助治疗在两个阶段之间没有显示出显著差异。该研究表明,新冠疫情的影响并未对诊断延迟、肿瘤分期和治疗类型产生直接影响,而是对子宫内膜癌的表现模式产生了影响。
