CAMPOS-PEREZ, Mónica et al. Breast pathology handling by breast radiologists in a high incidence hospital for COVID-19. JONNPR [online]. 2021, vol.6, n.1, pp.201-213.  Epub Oct 16, 2023. ISSN 2529-850X.  https://dx.doi.org/10.19230/jonnpr.3974.

In this article we would like to show the reader how we have managed breast pathology along all pandemic COVID-19 period in our Radiology Department, as far as our Hospital (“Complejo Hospitalario Universtiario de Albacete”) has been highly affected by COVID-19. To get to a result, we have revised main breast management guides porpused by different societies, and we have afterwards compared their recommendations with our way of handling the situation, taking into account that some of them were available and others were modified in order to benefit our patients. This was necessary in order to satisfy the attention of our patients with non delaying breast pathology and to manage correctly COVID-19 pandemic as well in a high incidence place. Our principal aims have been avoiding breast pathology diagnosis delay (breast cancer above all), as well as avoiding workers and patients COVID-19 infection.
