cord-268455-btuzihsy	de Santiago, Javier	COVID-19: gynecologic cancer surgery at a single center in Madrid	2020-07-07		.txt	text/plain	2968	170	46	The aim of this study was to evaluate surgical treatment of gynecological cancer patients during the COVID-19 outbreak in our center. During this period, the hospital was divided into two separate areas, independent of each other, assisting COVID-19 cases and at the same time allocating resources to surgical care, follow-up, or ongoing treatments of patients with cancer. Our study showed that we were able to safely manage 126 gynecological cancer surgeries in the COVID free zone during the pandemic, avoiding delays or cancellations. The number of low complexity surgeries with short hospital stays included in the study may have influenced the risk of postoperative contagion, and the fact that the PCR test before surgery was not performed in half of the patients due to low availability could have reduced the diagnosis of the infection. This study, conducted in a partial COVID-19 free hospital, showed that with adequate preventive and protective measures, cancer surgery was possible and did not significantly compromise patients or healthcare workers.	./cache/cord-268455-btuzihsy.txt	./txt/cord-268455-btuzihsy.txt
