Study conducted by MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper and Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey researchers finds very low risk of asymptomatic cases in statewide study of cancer patients.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the largest study of its kind reported to date, a multi-institutional group of researchers examined the presence of asymptomatic COVID-19 in cancer patients.\u00a0 The study was conducted in the New Jersey and Southeast Pennsylvania region and included patients from two academic medical centers (Cooper University Hospital<\/a> and Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey), as well as two community hospitals (Holy Redeemer Hospital, Meadowbrook, PA and Trinitas Health System in Elizabeth, NJ).<\/p>\n

Anthony Dragun, MD<\/p><\/div>\n

The analysis focused on patients who underwent radiation therapy between April and August of 2020, including the peak community prevalence of COVID-19 in many of the region\u2019s counties.\u00a0 The results of the three-month study were presented today (October 27) at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Radiation Oncology<\/a> by Anthony E. Dragun, MD<\/a>, Chief of the Department of Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper<\/a>, and Professor and Chair of Radiation Oncology at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU).<\/p>\n

Cancer patients scheduled for radiation therapy with no influenza-like symptoms underwent swab polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for COVID-19 prior to the initiation of treatment.\u00a0 Out of 385 COVID-19 tests, only five had returned positive (1.3%), and all five positive patients were managed successfully.\u00a0 Furthermore, radiation medical personnel showed a positive testing rate of less than 1%.<\/p>\n

\u201cCancer patients underwent a uniquely trying time during this pandemic,\u201d Dr. Dragun said. \u201cNavigating the complexities and anxieties surrounding radiation therapy<\/a> was particularly challenging in the environment of fear during the peak of COVID-19.\u201d The goal of this study was to identify patients who may have carried the virus but not know it, he said.\u00a0 The objective was to keep everyone\u2014patients, families, and staff\u2014safe, so that the patient\u2019s cancer care could be completed.<\/p>\n

Since many radiation patients are treated on a single machine, it is especially important to adhere to well-understood measures that prevent transmission in the care environment, Dragun said. \u201cWe\u2019ve always held to strict standards of quality and safety in the care of radiation patients.\u201d he said. \u201cSince we never closed our operations during the lockdown, we had to apply these ethics to the evolving risk of viral respiratory transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Dragun and his team identified populations of patients who may need special attention, such as those in underserved communities and also undergoing chemotherapy.\u00a0 \u201cWe believe that cancer centers should take pragmatic universal respiratory precautions during this pandemic. It is especially important to direct efforts to patients with more advanced cancer as well as underserved communities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverall, the risk of being an asymptomatic carrier of COVID-19 is very low, and cancer care can be performed safely.\u201d Dragun said.\u00a0 \u201cPatients do not need to choose between getting the cancer care they need and staying safe from COVID-19\u201d.<\/p>\n

La investigaci\u00f3n cl\u00ednica muestra que el tratamiento del c\u00e1ncer se puede realizar de manera segura durante la pandemia de Covid-19<\/h2>\n

Un estudio realizado por el MD Anderson Cancer Center de los investigadores del Cooper and Rutgers Cancer Institute de Nueva Jersey encuentra un riesgo muy bajo de casos asintom\u00e1ticos en un estudio estatal de pacientes con c\u00e1ncer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

En el estudio m\u00e1s grande de este tipo informado hasta la fecha, un grupo multiinstitucional de investigadores examin\u00f3 la presencia de COVID-19 asintom\u00e1tico en pacientes con c\u00e1ncer. El estudio se realiz\u00f3 en la regi\u00f3n de Nueva Jersey y el sureste de Pensilvania e incluy\u00f3 a pacientes de dos centros m\u00e9dicos acad\u00e9micos (Cooper University Hospital<\/u> y Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey), as\u00ed como a dos hospitales comunitarios (Holy Redeemer Hospital, Meadowbrook, PA y Trinitas Health System en Elizabeth, Nueva Jersey).<\/p>\n

El an\u00e1lisis se centr\u00f3 en los pacientes que se sometieron a radioterapia entre abril y agosto de 2020, incluida la prevalencia m\u00e1xima de COVID-19 en la comunidad en muchos de los condados de la regi\u00f3n. Los resultados del estudio de tres meses se presentaron hoy (27 de octubre) en la Reuni\u00f3n Anual de la Sociedad Estadounidense de Oncolog\u00eda Radioter\u00e1pica<\/u> por Anthony E. Dragun, <\/u>MD, Jefe del Departamento de Oncolog\u00eda Radioter\u00e1pica del MD Anderson Cancer Center en Cooper, y Profesor y catedr\u00e1tico de Oncolog\u00eda Radioter\u00e1pica<\/u> en la Facultad de Medicina Cooper de la Universidad Rowan (CMSRU).<\/p>\n

Los pacientes con c\u00e1ncer programados para radioterapia sin s\u00edntomas similares a los de la influenza se sometieron a pruebas de reacci\u00f3n en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) con hisopo para detectar COVID-19 antes de iniciar el tratamiento. De 385 pruebas de COVID-19, solo cinco dieron positivo (1.3%) y los cinco pacientes positivos se manejaron con \u00e9xito. Adem\u00e1s, el personal m\u00e9dico de radiaci\u00f3n mostr\u00f3 una tasa de pruebas positivas de menos del 1%.<\/p>\n

\u201cLos pacientes con c\u00e1ncer atravesaron un per\u00edodo excepcionalmente dif\u00edcil durante esta pandemia\u201d, dijo el Dr. Dragun. \u201cNavegar por las complejidades y ansiedades que rodean a la radioterapia<\/u> fue particularmente desafiante en el ambiente de miedo durante el pico de COVID-19\u201d. El objetivo de este estudio era identificar a los pacientes que pudieran haber sido portadores del virus pero no lo sab\u00edan, dijo. El objetivo era mantener a todos (pacientes, familias y personal) seguros, de modo que se pudiera completar la atenci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer del paciente.<\/p>\n

Dado que muchos pacientes con radiaci\u00f3n son tratados en una sola m\u00e1quina, es especialmente importante adherirse a medidas bien entendidas que previenen la transmisi\u00f3n en el entorno de atenci\u00f3n, dijo Dragun. “Siempre nos hemos apegado a estrictos est\u00e1ndares de calidad y seguridad en el cuidado de los pacientes sometidos a radiaci\u00f3n”. \u00e9l dijo. \u201cDado que nunca cerramos nuestras operaciones durante el encierro, tuvimos que aplicar esta \u00e9tica al riesgo en evoluci\u00f3n de transmisi\u00f3n respiratoria viral\u201d.<\/p>\n

El Dr. Dragun y su equipo identificaron poblaciones de pacientes que pueden necesitar atenci\u00f3n especial, como aquellos en comunidades desatendidas y que tambi\u00e9n se someten a quimioterapia. \u201cCreemos que los centros oncol\u00f3gicos deben tomar precauciones respiratorias universales y ragm\u00e1ticas durante esta pandemia. Es especialmente importante dirigir los esfuerzos a los pacientes con c\u00e1ncer m\u00e1s avanzado, as\u00ed como a las comunidades desatendidas \u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n

“En general, el riesgo de ser un portador asintom\u00e1tico de COVID-19 es muy bajo y la atenci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer se puede realizar de forma segura”. Dijo Dragun. \u201cLos pacientes no necesitan elegir entre recibir la atenci\u00f3n oncol\u00f3gica que necesitan y mantenerse a salvo del COVID-19\u201d.<\/p>\n
