RadiOnCOVID: Multicentric Analysis of the Impact of COVID-19 on Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy in Italy
Most of the patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis in our cohort recovered and completed their treatment; nonetheless, the attributable death rate after confirmed infection was 20.27%, and mortality was high among cancer patients with severe COVID-19 presentation. The global incidence of death due to COVID-19 or severe COVID-19 was low and decreased over time. Radiation oncology activity could be safely continued during the COVID-19 pandemic with the adoption of adequate preventive measures.
