Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the percentage variation of the different therapeutic modalities used in new cases of cancer, before and during the pandemic, in Ceará.

Methods: Descriptive study with information from records of the Hospital Information System and Authorization of Highly Complex Procedures, and Cancer Information Systems in the state of Ceará, Brazil.

Results: There was a reduction of 2,575 (-30.85%) new cases in 2020 and 2,368 (-28.37%) in 2021. Regarding the therapeutic modalities, it was possible to observe that there were decreases in the numbers of all institutions in the first cancer treatment, except for isolated radiotherapy and for combined surgery+iodine therapy+radiotherapy. Surgery was the modality most often performed in a timely manner (<30 days) and chemotherapy in an untimely manner (>60 days). The impact on the initiation of timely treatment (<30 days after diagnosis) was greater in 2021 than in 2020. In general, late treatments (>60 days) were lower than in 2019. The period of 31-60 days was shown to be above 2019 almost the entire year, in 2020 and 2021.

Conclusion: The number of new cancer cases in Ceará may occur during the pandemic. This situation impacted the reduction of all therapeutic modalities, except for radiotherapy alone and associated with surgery+iodine therapy. However, it did not harm the number of new cases treated in a timely manner.

第一次癌症治疗的治疗方式:大流行前和大流行期间巴西东北地区塞埃尔州的百分比变化。
目的:评估在流感大流行之前和期间在新西兰新发癌症病例中使用的不同治疗方式的百分比变化。方法:利用巴西塞埃尔州的医院信息系统、高度复杂程序授权和癌症信息系统记录中的信息进行描述性研究。结果:2020年新增病例减少2575例(-30.85%),2021年新增病例减少2368例(-28.37%)。关于治疗方式,可以观察到,除孤立放疗和手术+碘治疗+放疗联合治疗外,所有癌症第一次治疗机构的数量都有所减少。手术是最常及时进行的方式(60天)。对及时开始治疗(60天)的影响低于2019年。在2020年和2021年,31-60天的时间段几乎是全年。结论:流感大流行期间,中国可能出现癌症新发病例。这种情况影响了所有治疗方式的减少,除了单独放疗和与手术+碘治疗相关的治疗。然而,这并没有损害及时得到治疗的新病例的数量。
