2019年冠状病毒病疫情在意大利，特别是米兰疫情中心迅速蔓延，需要采取严厉措施，并导致民众恐慌。虽然在我们的中心，我们没有改变治疗年轻癌症患者的方法，但我们开展了一项定性调查来评估他们对风险和压力水平的看法。调查显示，相对较大比例的年轻患者感觉自己面临严重并发症的风险。我们认为，我们需要充分告知患者，重点关注卫生措施和个人防护，并及时报告任何可疑症状。
The rapid spread of coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic in Italy, in particular in the Milan focal point, required drastic measures and led to panic in the population. While in our center we did not change our approach to the treatment of our young patients with cancer, we developed a qualitative survey to assess their perception of the risk and level of stress. The survey showed that a relatively large proportion of young patients felt personally at risk of severe complications. We believe that we need to adequately inform our patients, focusing on hygienic measures and personal protection and prompt reporting of any suspicious symptoms.
