Conclusion
The measures that have been put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic have clearly impacted our surgical practice and overall management of head and neck cancer patients. We present the experience of our institution in the initial COVID-19 period where guidelines are constantly evolving. As such, it is essential to track patient outcomes at this crucial period in time, with long term follow-up to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on patients’ outcomes. Currently, national and multinational efforts are collating data regarding the impact of COVID-19 on oncology patients. We will continue to strive to treat those most in need, while protecting our patients, healthcare workers and our community.
