| Sumario: | Since December 2019 the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has hit the world, causing the World Health Organization to declare it a pandemic. With the emergence and spread of the new infection, there has been unprecedented pressure on health care systems around the world. The time constraints associated with receiving routine care also affected the risk group cancer patients, as some hospitals were quarantined. Violation of the terms of both systemic drug, radiation and surgical treatment of cancer patients could lead to the progression of the tumor process and lead to the death of the patient. In connection with the current situation, doctors had to quickly change the tactics of managing cancer patients, due to the lack of accurate data on the basis of which it is possible to determine the optimal approach to the use of therapy, they had to make decisions in conditions of lack of data. The article shows an example of the treatment of 113 patients being treated in the department of surgical treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors in National Medical Research Radiological Center of the Ministry of Health of Russia during the first wave of the pandemic from March 30 to July 1, 2020. Surgical treatment was performed in 103 patients. During the period of stay in the hospital, 11 patients showed signs of coronavirus infection. Of these, 10 patients were diagnosed with coronavirus infection in the postoperative period. According to the study, the nosocomial incidence of COVID-19 is 10%. With timely diagnosis and specialized treatment, the survival rate was 100% in the given example. Consequently, if epidemiological measures are observed at all stages of hospitalization, it is possible to carry out planned surgical treatment for patients with primary and secondary lesions of bones and soft tissues. However, the decision to carry out a planned operation during a pandemic should be individual for each patient. |
