ID: njo93g3h_36
Snippet: Herein, we shared our single institution experience in the management of cancer patients undergoing RT from a cancer centre that was based in Wuhan, where the outbreak first started. Our infection control protocol was comprehensive, covering a stepwise clinical pathway to manage suspect cases (questionaire, CT, and RT-PCR assays), on-site screening, re-organisation of the RT facility, and protection of healthcare workers. The extremely low rates .....
Document: Herein, we shared our single institution experience in the management of cancer patients undergoing RT from a cancer centre that was based in Wuhan, where the outbreak first started. Our infection control protocol was comprehensive, covering a stepwise clinical pathway to manage suspect cases (questionaire, CT, and RT-PCR assays), on-site screening, re-organisation of the RT facility, and protection of healthcare workers. The extremely low rates of infection among our patients (0.48%) and healthcare workers (0%) were a testament to the efficacy of our measures.
