Objectives: To analyse the organisational changes adopted by the Oncology SC during the Covid-19 emergency in order to identify their future applicability as an ordinary model of oncology patient management. Methodology: Application of ministerial recommendations, of the Piedmont and Aosta Valley Oncology Network and of the main scientific societies on the management of oncological patients during the pandemic and in phase 2. Results: During the pandemic, organisational models and pathways were adopted that ensured continuity of care and patient safety and can also be applied in the post-Covid phase. Conclusions: The reorganisation model of Oncology during the Covid-19 emergency was effective and some of the pathways adopted may constitute an ordinary tool of activity.
