Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Int J Gynecol Cancer 2022;32:9–14) Because of the overwhelming pressure placed on the health care system during the COVID-19 pandemic, resource prioritization and infection risk led to deviation from standard of care treatment for women with gynecologic cancer. The loss of intensive care availability, surgical capacity, as well as radio- and systemic therapy availability particularly impacted this vulnerable population.
