2019新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行在地球仪迅速蔓延，继续对公共卫生产生广泛影响。头颈癌患者是特别容易受到这些影响的人群，我们预计在COVID-19激增后，头颈癌患者可能会激增。此外，社交距离措施的影响可能导致疾病向更晚期的转变。如果有适当的预期，多学科负责人和癌症团队可能会最大限度地减少这种激增的影响，并制定策略，为头颈癌患者提供最佳护理。
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to have extensive effects on public health as it spreads rapidly across the globe. Patients with head and neck cancer are a particularly susceptible population to these effects, and we expect there to be a potential surge in patients presenting with head and neck cancers after the surge in COVID-19. Furthermore, the impact of social distancing measures could result in a shift toward more advanced disease at presentation. With appropriate anticipation, multidisciplinary head and cancer teams could potentially minimize the impact of this surge and plan for strategies to provide optimal care for patients with head and neck cancer.
