Challenges and adaptations in pancreatic cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic in a high-volume center
Our results indicate effective management of pancreatic cancer despite the challenges presented by the pandemic. These findings suggest that centralized, specialized surgical centers can maintain high-quality care of patients with pancreatic cancer during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings underscore the importance of timely surgical interventions for cancer patients, even when the healthcare system is disrupted.
