ABSTRACT
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the Health Care System organization in many European countries. Many Oncology departments have rapidly implemented telehealth in their clinical practice. For breast cancer (BC) patients (pts), up to 80% of all in-person visits have been transformed in TV. Methods: 18 centers from France and Italy invited all BC pts who have had at least one TV (Visio conference or telephone) during the COVID-19 pandemic to answer an online, anonym questionnaire (Q) ontheir experience with TV. Q included 42 questions: demographic data, BC medical situation, TSQ scale (telehealth specific Q), physician’s module of EORTC OUTPATSAT35 (11 SAT35), and HADS anxiety scale. The primary objective was to evaluate satisfaction with TV. Secondary objectives: anxiety, factors associated with satisfaction and description of satisfaction in pts’ subgroups. Results: Between 6/4/2020 and 15/05/2020, 1244 pts (out of 3762 invited) filled in the Q and were included in the analysis. Main characteristics and results are shown in the Table. Mean 11 SAT35: 85.21 and 77.41 for pts who had visio versus telephone TVs respectively. 11 SAT35 was highly correlated to HADS score (p < 0.001). Multivariate analyses will be presented. [Formula presented] Conclusions: TV during the COVID-pandemic appeared feasible and well accepted by BC pts regardless of their medical situation and mode of TV. Anxiety was high during this period, and correlated with satisfaction. These findings help identifying BC pts who may be proposed TV beyond the pandemic crisis.
