Time from admission to decision to operate was shorter in group 1 (162 vs. 232 minutes, p=0.028). In the comparison between groups 1 and 3, baseline characteristics were comparable. The rate of women presenting following IVF treatments was lower [OR 95% CI 0.15 (0.04-0.49), p<0.001], the time from admission to surgery was shorter (544 vs. 748 minutes, p=0.005), and the rate of surgically confirmed AT was lower [59 (60.8%) vs. 455 (71.7%), p=0.030, OR (95% CI) 0.61 (0.39-0.95)] in group 1. Conclusion: Our data underline differences in the time from admission to surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the rate of women presenting with suspected AT following IVF treatments. These findings may reflect a change in medical resources during the pandemic.
Highlights
Gastric type adenocarcinoma (GAS) of the cervix is a rare subtype of mucinous adenocarcinoma.
Unlike other types of cervical cancer, GAS is unrelated to HPV infection.
We present a case of GAS that presented as an ovarian neoplasm.
