This could lead to the delay in diagnosis and onset of the treatment. Ovarian cancer (OC) is frequently detected in advanced stage due to its asymptomatic development. The study aimed to determine whether the incidence and staging of OC were influenced by COVID-19 pandemic in the certified advanced ovarian cancer surgery center.MethodologyThe study consisted of 77 patients with primary ovarian cancer admitted to the University Oncology Center in Białystok, Poland between march 2019 and march 2021. We divided patients into two groups, first one diagnosed prior to the pandemic (before march 2020), and the second – diagnosed during pandemic-associated restrictions period. Both groups were compared according to FIGO (International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics) staging and presence of symptoms (hydrothorax and ascites). Statistical analysis was performed with logistic regression analysis. Statistical significance level was set at 0,05.Result(s)*Before the pandemic, 47 patients were admitted with a median age of 61. During the pandemic, there were 30 newly diagnosed patients with a median age of 59. In both groups the most common type of cancer was high grade serous adenocarcinoma (61,7% and 60,0%, respectively). Patients with an advanced OC (FIGO stage III and IV) accounted for 57,4% in the pre-pandemic group, while in the second group patients with advanced cancer accounted for 66,7%. Although the percentage was higher in the second group, the logistic regression analysis did not confirm the impact of pandemic on more frequent occurrence of FIGO III (p=0,17) and IV (p=0,81) diagnosis. Ascites was found in 29,8% of patients before and 30% during pandemic. Hydrothorax was observed in 14,9% of patients in the first group and 26,7% in the second one. Logistic regression analysis revealed no influence of pandemic on percentage of symptomatic patients (p=0,91 for ascites and p=0,18 for hydrothorax).Conclusion*The number of newly diagnosed OC patients was lower during the pandemic than in the preceding year. Without regard to healthcare availability, OC remains the disease which is diagnosed in the advanced stage.","PeriodicalId":253349,"journal":{"name":"Organization of gynaecological cancer care","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126737039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our center, a 30% decrease in the number of cancer diagnoses has been estimated. The objective of this study was to account for this variation in the area of gynecological oncology.MethodologyThe diagnoses of endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer, of any histology, diagnosed in our center between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2021 were reviewed. Data were compared between the pre-COVID period (1/04/19-31/03/20) and COVID (01/04/20-31/03/21).Result(s)*The number of endometrial cancer diagnoses decreased from 33 to 25 cases (25% decrease). Grouped by stages, initial diagnoses (FIGO I/II) went from 72% to 64%, with an increase in advanced stages (FIGO III/IV) (27% to 36%).Regarding ovarian cancer, the number of diagnoses was similar (24 pre-COVID vs 26 COVID), although with a slight increase in advanced stages (58% pre-COVID vs 65%). Within the advanced ones, we observed a significant increase in their severity, being in COVID time all stages III (14 cases), while in COVID time 11.2% were IVA stages and 41.2% IVB.Conclusion*In neoplasms where the initial symptoms are mild, such as endometrial cancer, the number of cases has been reduced, which may be due to the lack of consultation by patients. Regarding ovarian cancer, we have not seen a decrease in cases, although we have seen an increase in the stage. It is expected that the consequences of the COVID pandemic will continue to be felt in the future with an increase in the advanced stages of these neoplasms.","PeriodicalId":253349,"journal":{"name":"Organization of gynaecological cancer care","volume":"256 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129062635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
