UNASSIGNED: In this time series study, patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the operated tongue cancer were divided into two groups. Patients who operated from March 2020 to March 2021 (n = 36) and patients who operated 3 years ago (n = 70) were included in the study. The results were analyzed using SPSS 21 software.
UNASSIGNED: The study found that during the pandemic, the stage of tongue cancer in patients who underwent surgery was higher than before the pandemic (p = 0.01). Moreover, the depth of invasion was significantly higher during the COVID-19 outbreak in the pathology sample of the patients (p = 0.006), while the involvement of lymph nodes and other variables between the groups was not statistically significant.
UNASSIGNED: COVID-19 has adverse effects on the diagnosis and treatment of tongue cancer. Also, it leads to advanced stages of the tumor and increases the depth of invasion of the cancer. Hence, it is important to plan correctly and appropriately for the diagnosis and treatment of these patients in conditions such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
■在这个时间序列研究中,诊断为舌癌鳞状细胞癌的患者被分为两组。研究包括2020年3月至2021年3月手术的患者(n=36)和3年前手术的患者(n=70)。结果采用SPSS21软件进行分析。
■研究发现,在大流行期间,手术患者的舌癌分期高于大流行前(p=0.01).此外,在COVID-19爆发期间,患者病理样本的侵袭深度明显更高(p=0.006),而组间淋巴结和其他变量的受累无统计学意义。
■COVID-19对舌癌的诊断和治疗有不良影响。此外,它导致肿瘤的晚期阶段,并增加癌症的侵袭深度。因此,在COVID-19大流行等情况下,正确和适当地计划这些患者的诊断和治疗非常重要。
