To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Brazilian Head and Neck (H&N) oncology reference services.
This cross-sectional study evaluated data on the number of outpatient consultations, operations and infected physicians collected in 13 Brazilian Cancer Centers.
10% of the H&N surgeons had COVID-19 infection. Significant reduction in the average number of new treated cases (39.9%), consultations (63.1%) and surgeries (35.1%) was observed in April 2020 compared with those of the same period in 2019.
There was significant impairment in the delivery of care to H&N cancer patients during a month of pandemic. The observed reduction is expected to persist in the coming months and will require institutional efforts to adequately meet the demand imposed during the pandemic period.

评估2019冠状病毒病大流行对巴西头颈肿瘤学参考服务的影响。
这项横断面研究评估了巴西13家癌症中心收集的门诊咨询、手术和感染医生数量的数据。
10%的头颈外科医生感染了2019冠状病毒病。与2019年同期相比,2020年4月新治疗病例的平均数量显著减少(39.9%),咨询量减少(63.1%),手术量减少(35.1%)。
在大流行的一个月期间,对头颈癌患者的护理提供受到了严重损害。预计在未来几个月中观察到的减少情况将持续存在,这将需要机构做出努力,以充分满足大流行期间产生的需求。
