TREATMENT OF ONCOLOGY PATIENTS DURING THE CORONA VIRUS ERA
BACKGROUND: Cancer patients are more at risk to contract SARS-CoV-2 and may develop many more severe complications, along with high mortality rates relative to the cancer-free population. The outbreak of the epidemic was characterized by a high rate of infection from person to person, however medical systems remained fully functional. Following most international guidelines, adaptations were made to the performance level of oncology treatments, and the service was to continue as usual. Moreover, the corona virus epidemic era was characterized by new challenges such as emergency work schedules, additional hygiene measures and social distancing. Furthermore, the medical staff used Personal Protection Equipment and resource preparedness for a larger outbreak and probable collapse of the health system. Therefore, changes have been made in the form and delivery of patient care and treatments. This article presents the work format employed in the Oncology Unit at Bnai Zion Medical Center during the COVID-19 epidemic. The newly adjusted protocol included four areas: staff, patients, infrastructure and malignant disease types.
