Abstract (english)
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the treatment of diseases other than COVID. The aim of our study was to demonstrate the impact it had on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with prostate cancer. By reviewing the work performed at the Clinic of Urology of the Clinical Hospital Centre Rijeka, we compared the following data for the period before the pandemic (2018) and the period during the pandemic (2021): number of prostate biopsies performed, number of newly-diagnosed cancers, PSA levels at biopsy, waiting time from the diagnosis to start of the treatment, stage of disease at biopsy and stage after prostatectomy, and finally the treatment options used. The results confirm the hypothesis that the pandemic had a negative impact on both diagnosis and treatment. The number of newly-diagnosed patients decreased by 37.24%, which correlates with a lower number of all prostate biopsies. We also noted a longer time to the start of the treatment for patients and an increase in poorer pathohistological outcomes after radical prostatectomy. Due to the higher disease stages, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were used more frequently.
Abstract (croatian)
COVID-19 pandemija negativno je utjecala na liječenje ne-COVID bolesti. Cilj našeg istraživanja je pokazati utjecaj iste na dijagnostiku i liječenje bolesnika oboljelih od karcinoma prostate. Pretražujući arhivu Klinike za urologiju Kliničkog bolničkog centra Rijeka usporedili smo sljedeće podatke za prepandemijsku 2018. i pandemijsku 2021. godinu: broj biopsija prostate, broj novodijagnosticiranih karcinoma, vrijednosti PSA pri upućivanju na biopsiju, vrijeme čekanja od postavljanja dijagnoze do početka liječenja, stadij bolesti na temelju bioptata i stadij na temelju uzorka nakon prostatektomije te korištene oblike liječenja. Rezultati potvrđuju hipotezu negativnog utjecaja pandemije na dijagnostiku i liječenje. Postotak novodijagnosticiranih bolesnika smanjio se za 37.24% što korelira s manjim brojem biopsija prostate. Također primijetili smo produljeni vremenski period do početka liječenja bolesnika te porast lošijih patohistoloških rezultata nakon radikalne prostatektomije. Sukladno lošijem stadiju bolesti, nešto učestalije se primjenjivala radioterapija i kemoterapija u nastavku njihova liječenja.
