Are maintenance therapies for ovarian cancer being held at your institution due to COVID-19?
Answer from: Medical Oncologist at Academic Institution
Patient safety and health care worker safety are of the upmost importance for us. We are doing telehealth visits and able to deliver oral drugs to patient's homes. For infusion visits, those are being decided on a case by case basis, depending on the patient and their disease status.
Currently, we are not holding maintenance chemotherapy infusions for cancer patients. This is certainly a dynamic and unprecedented time, with both regional and system specific considerations. As such, requirements may change over the coming weeks.
