Abstract

This research letter details the experience of a large cancer center's experience with a universal asymptomatic preoperative SARS-CoV-2 testing program that facilitated safe surgical treatment during a local surge of coronavirus cases. A total of 5,234 asymptomatic tests were performed with a test positivity rate that correlated with the increase in community prevalence of COVID-19 infections. No patients developed a postoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection with no documented patient-to-patient or patient-to-provider spread.
