In an oncology setting in which patients are known to be at high risk for severe COVID-19, preventing cancer patients from being exposed to COVID-19 is a critical public health priority. However, there is no report in the literature reflecting the perspectives of gynaecological cancer patients facing both COVID thread and also facing such modifications in their treatment and follow-up, in such a short time.
Primary aim of this study is to evaluate the impression of COVID pandemic over the gynaecological cancer patients and the patients’ attitudes and experiences upon modifications of their cancer care.
