Managing cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic: An ESMO Interdisciplinary Expert Consensus
Ce dossier présente un ensemble d'articles concernant la prise en charge des cancers durant la crise sanitaire liée au COVID-19
We established an international consortium to discuss clinical evidence and to provide expert advice on statements related to cancer management during COVID-19 pandemics. The steering committee prepared ten working packages addressing significant clinical questions from diagnosis to surgery. During a virtual consensus meeting, including global experts and lead by the European Society for Medical Oncology, statements have been discussed and voted upon. When consensus could not be reached, the panel revised statements in order to develop consensual clinical guidance. The expert panel agreed on 28 statements that can be used to overcome many of the clinical and technical areas of uncertainty ranging from diagnosis to therapeutic planning.
