No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been identified as the cause of the Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), which was initially reported in December 2019 in China and has since rapidly spread worldwide.

Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a detrimental effect of the national health care system, causing a drastic reduction of the screening programs for colorectal cancer and requiring the redistribution of the hospital resources from elective surgery to the care of patients with SARS-Cov\_2 infection requiring admission.

Conditions

  • Colorectal Neoplasms Malignant

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Surgical procedure for confirmed or suspected colorectal cancer

Surgical procedure for cancer may include: * any radical surgery (right or left hemicolectomy, rectal resection, abdomino-perineal resection, total colectomy, proctocolectomy, and others depending on the tumor site and other tumor characteristics), * surgery for radicalization of cancer polyps previously removed endoscopically * surgery for excision of large polyps which are not removable endoscopically * staging surgery (laparoscopy or laparotomy), in case of advanced-non operable cancer * palliative surgery (defined as any surgery with no curative intent)
