COVID-19，也被称为冠状病毒病2019，是由世界卫生组织（世卫组织）宣布的大流行的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 （SARS-CoV-2）引起的。随着全球面临2019年冠状病毒病危机，肿瘤学界正受到前所未有的挑战的影响。在这段艰难的时期，卵巢癌（OC）患者的诊断、手术、化疗和放射治疗以及通过远程医疗而不是亲自就诊进行的肿瘤随访都受到了延误的影响。癌症患者和他们的肿瘤学家正在权衡对COVID-19和癌症治疗的恐惧以及延迟癌症治疗的后果。女性卵巢癌患者正在经历的治疗护理延误导致了更高水平的癌症担忧、焦虑和抑郁。在本文中，我们简要回顾了COVID-19大流行对OC诊断和治疗以及正在进行的临床试验的影响。我们还讨论了COVID-19对女性OC患者的心理影响，以及限制亲自医院就诊以减少疾病传播的替代治疗策略，以及COVID-19对OC患者的影响。
COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus disease 2019, is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) declared pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). As the world faces the coronavirus disease 2019 crisis, the oncology community is being impacted by unprecedented challenges. During this trying time, patients with ovarian cancer (OC) have been affected by a delay in diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and oncology follow-ups being conducted via telemedicine instead of in-person visits. OC patients and their oncologists are balancing the fears of COVID-19 and cancer treatment with the consequences of delaying cancer care. The delay in treatment care that women with OC are experiencing has resulted in higher levels of cancer worry, anxiety, and depression. In this article, we succinctly review the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the diagnosis and treatment and ongoing clinical trials of OC. We also discuss the psychological effects of COVID-19 on women with OC and alternative therapeutic strategies to limit in-person hospital visits to reduce the spread of the disease, and the impact of COVID-19 on OC patients.
