At the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of the European Institute of Oncology (IEO), we needed to rearrange our assistance pathways, as a designated oncological hub, to guarantee gold-standard treatments to cancer patients. Specific protocols were developed for the management of regional patients and extra-regional patients confined to self-isolation due to the lockdown and stay-at-home policy. Specific assistance trajectories were created for cancer patients coming from other hospitals needing life-saving procedures. Herein, we report the outcomes of patients undergoing head and neck treatments at the IEO Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, with the aim to evaluate the efficacy of all the measures adopted as an oncological hub during the COVID-19 pandemic and compare our data with that in the international peer-reviewed published medical literature regarding the consequences of COVID-19 on the management of head and neck cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":520544,"journal":{"name":"Acta otorhinolaryngologica Italica : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di otorinolaringologia e chirurgia cervico-facciale","volume":" ","pages":"S79-S86"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/95/49/aoi-2022-02-S79.PMC9137385.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40402270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
