- W3099688504 abstract "Being at the epicenter of the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in the US, we sought to characterize the impact of the pandemic on oncologic care at the two largest radiation oncology departments within the Rutgers-Barnabas health system in New Jersey (NJ). We hypothesized that management was modified for a significant percentage of patients due to a combination of patients’ fears, physician’s efforts to minimize patient exposure to the healthcare setting and the reallocation of hospital resources. A multi-institutional retrospective review was performed on all patients seen at two radiation oncology departments in NJ between 3/9/20-6/15/20, corresponding to peak of the pandemic in the state. Patients who were seen in consultation either via telemedicine or in person, undergoing treatment planning or on active treatment during this period were included. Patients whose care had been modified due to the pandemic were identified, and the details of how care had been altered were documented. Care changes were classified into several categories including RT delay, RT fractionation change, RT omission, RT modality change, disruption of RT course and change in sequencing of treatment. All 482 patients seen at the two radiation oncology departments during the period of interest were identified. 103 patients (21.3%) experienced at least one COVID related care change. Of the 103 patients who experienced care changes, the most common change was a delay in RT (53.3%), followed by RT omission (10.6%), change in the sequencing of treatment (7.8%) and RT fractionation change (6.8%). RT delays were attributed to the reallocation of hospital resources for 43.6% of patients, physician’s independent clinical judgement for 31% of patients, patient’s own fears of presenting to clinic for 20% patients and positive COVID tests for 5.5% patients. Among the patients for whom RT was omitted, the decision to avoid RT as part of the treatment course was physician driven for 6 (54.5%). Patients with the following tumor types were most likely to experience care changes: rectal (75%), endometrial (44%), breast (36.5%), H&N (23.3%) and prostate (12.9%). Over a fifth of the patient cohort experienced changes in care including RT delays, omission, or changes in the sequencing of treatment and fractionation. The likelihood of care changes also varied noticeably across different tumor types. This study, set at the heart of the initial outbreak, may provide a valuable perspective for the oncology community throughout the rest of the nation on how cancer care may be affected in balancing the need for protecting patients from COVID-19 and optimizing cancer outcomes." @default.
