description BACKGROUND: A pronounced polarization of healthcare resources and workforce towards the prevention of the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 occurred at the expenses of the majority of chronic diseases and cancer, thus jeopardizing continuity of care and therapy outcomes. MAIN BODY OF THE ABSTRACT: In this challenging and overwhelming scenario, our Institute confirmed its mission to provide expert cancer care. Here, we provide a report of strategic decisions made and of articulated measures developed to limit virus spreading while striving to make our hospital closer to patients. CONCLUSIONS: We hope our experience may serve as a resource to inform clinical care models in case of future epidemiological outbreaks.
