The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of brain tumor surgeries in Poland: A national database study

CONCLUSIONS: The decrease in the number of neuro-oncological surgeries appeared to be much lower than the 20% decrease observed for general oncological surgeries in Poland during the COVID-19 pandemic. This seems to have resulted from postponing the treatment of less critical cases (i.e., nonmalignant and elective) and focusing on the treatment of the most precarious patients.PMID:37093089 | DOI:10.17219/acem/161726
