“…Furthermore, to reduce the risk for vulnerable patients, it was recommended that some treatment protocols (in particular interventional radiology and chemotherapy) be adapted to ensure vulnerable patients spent less time at the hospital, or that triage protocols be put into place to ensure care for urgent patients. These decisions were in coherence with recommendations published by expert societies but adapted for the context of each individual hospital [ 9 ].…”

This article will elaborate how oncology care and research was adapted during the COVID pandemic in the Metropole of Lyon (France), including the lasting innovations that came out of the crisis. The research method involved 22 semi-structured qualitative interviews of healthcare professionals, managers, and researchers in the Lyon, France region coming from both public and private academic hospitals. The interviews took place from February 2021-December 2022 in order to assess the long-term adaptations and innovations in cancer care organization in the post-COVID era. The main results show adaptations and innovations in 1) new processes and resources to facilitate disciplinary and interdisciplinary work; 2) harmonization and streamlining of patient journeys. In the discussion section, we will mobilize the capabilities approach, an interdisciplinary social sciences approach that focuses on the capabilities of persons to be and to do, to elaborate the conditions by which local actors were able to be agile, to adapt and to innovate in spite of the healthcare emergency and in coherence with their professional and personal values.

“…In terms of supportive and integrative care, although the Society for Integrative Oncology Online Task Force published recommendations to provide effective and safe online consultations and treatment for quality-of-life concerns and psychological management [64], many treatments considered nonessential were reduced despite high levels of psychological distress in patients [61,65]. Online treatments recommended during the pandemic in patients with cancer were manual, acupuncture, movement, mind-body, herbal, and expressive art therapies [61,66,67].…”

“…Medical societies have developed both general recommendations and specific guidelines for tumor types, to restructure cancer care [61]. Most of the published recommendations were related to the first wave of the pandemic, although there have been modifications as the pandemic has continued [61]. Diagnostics and screening were largely delayed and/ or stopped during the first wave of the pandemic [21,[61][62][63].…”

Purpose of reviewTo summarize the current literature on the psychological impact of COVID-19 on patients with cancer, both in terms of the impact of the virus itself and of changes in the healthcare system; and to describe current recommendations for supporting patients with cancer during the pandemic. Recent findingsMultiple studies have shown that patients with cancer experience high levels of psychological distress during COVID-19. Factors of greater vulnerability have been described as: being young, being female, low socioeconomic status, lower educational level, having low levels of hope or optimism, lower social support, and having cancer with curative intent. The severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2pandemic has accelerated the healthcare digitization process. All departments involved in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer have made contingency plans to minimize the impact on patients.

“…Nevertheless, it should also be acknowledged that some aspects of healthcare reorganization had a negative psychological impact on patients and their families. Concern about having the treatment plan interrupted because of the health emergency has been captured by several surveys conducted among patients with cancer, and this feeling was more pronounced among those patients on active treatment [22,23]. The oncological disease itself appeared to remain the main source of apprehension for patients during the COVID-19 wave, while SARS-CoV-2-related aspects (e.g.…”

Purpose of reviewOver the past 2 years, the COVID-19 pandemic has had short-term and long-term effects on the delivery of cancer care. Some European countries faced an unprecedented widespread crisis during the first year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, only being able afterwards to gradually recover, thanks to the improvement in preventive measures, changes in public health and reactive processes in cancer care and a better understanding of the ongoing heath emergency. Recent findingsThe development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and COVID-19 specific treatments, the growing testing and tracking capability to limit virus diffusion, and research efforts to better define areas of action have all greatly limited the negative impact of the health emergency on routine cancer care. The need to protect those more vulnerable and to ensure continuity of care for oncology patients has been balanced across the pandemic, with the aim to guarantee an optimal standard of care. SummaryThis article aims to provide an overview on the evolving scenario of cancer care throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, focusing on the particular features that characterized the pandemic course as well as the main differences that were observed across it.
