This article discusses the protective measures implemented at IC-HCL during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in France and their impact on clinical activities. The study found that there was no significant decline in the number of treatments conducted at IC-HCL, except for clinical trials and certain surgical activities. Additionally, the age and stage of cancer patients were found to be correlated with severe symptoms of COVID-19.
Simple Summary This article presents the protective measures put in place at the Institut de Cancerologie des Hospices de Lyon (IC-HCL) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in France (spring 2020) and how they impacted IC-HCL clinical activity. Spring 2020 activities were compared to winter 2019-2020. This article presents the protective measures put in place at the Institut de Cancerologie des Hospices de Lyon (IC-HCL) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in France (spring 2020) and how they impacted IC-HCL clinical activity. Spring 2020 activities were compared to winter 2019-2020. Results showed a decrease of activity of 9% for treatment dispensations, 17% for multidisciplinary team meetings, 20% for head and neck and thoracic surgeries, and 58% for new patient enrolment in clinical trials. Characteristics of patients treated for solid cancer and hospitalized for COVID-19 during spring 2020 were collected in a retrospective study. Mortality was attributed to COVID-19 for half of the cases, 82% being patients above 70 and 73% being stage IV. This is in concordance with current findings concluding that the risk of developing severe or critical symptoms of COVID-19 is correlated with factors co-occurring in cancer patients and not to the cancer condition per se. While a number of routines and treatment regimens were changed, there was no major decline in numbers of treatments conducted at the IC-HCL during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic that hit France between March and May 2020, except for clinical trials and some surgery activities.
