The impact of episodic screening interruption: COVID-19 and population-based cancer screening in Canada

Jean H. E. Yong et al.

Summary: This study estimated the long-term clinical impact of breast and colorectal cancer screening interruptions in Canada using a validated mathematical model. The simulations projected a surge of cancer cases and increased cancer deaths as a result of screening interruptions, highlighting the need for effective strategies to minimize potential harm to individuals who missed their screenings.

The impact of COVID-19 on systemic anticancer treatment delivery in Scotland

Mark A. Baxter et al.

Summary: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on systemic anticancer therapy delivery (SACT) has led to a rapid initial reduction in patient attendance, with subsequent recovery in NHS Scotland. Regional variations in the magnitude of impact were observed, but all regions showed similar rates of recovery. The coordinated national approach and support structures have limited the disadvantage to cancer patients during this time.

Shifts in office and virtual primary care during the early COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, Canada

Richard H. Glazier et al.

Summary: The study found that there was a significant shift in primary care in Ontario from office to virtual care during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 28.0% decrease in total visits. However, total visits in rural areas increased by 6.4%. The smallest declines in visits were seen among older adults and patients with higher expected health care use. Virtual care made up a significant portion of primary care physician visits, but uptake was lower among children, rural residents, and physicians with more patients.

Measuring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on organized cancer screening and diagnostic follow-up care in Ontario, Canada: A provincial, population-based study

Meghan J. Walker et al.

Summary: A study in Ontario, Canada showed that the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant decrease in organized cancer screening, with older individuals and those in lower-income neighborhoods more likely to experience diagnostic delays. Further evaluation is needed to assess the impacts of these disruptions on cancer incidence, stage, and mortality. This information is crucial for equitable and timely access to cancer screening-related care in pandemic recovery efforts.

Impact of the early phase of the COVID pandemic on cancer treatment delivery and the quality of cancer care: a scoping review and conceptual model

Melanie Powis et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected cancer treatment for patients with solid tumors, leading to reductions in outpatient visits, delays in surgery and radiotherapy, changes in systemic therapy regimens, and an overall impact on the quality of care, particularly in terms of effectiveness, timeliness, and equity. The shift to virtual care models has been a common facilitator in maintaining cancer care delivery levels, while patient-initiated deferrals and cancellations due to fear of contracting COVID-19 have been a major barrier.

Impact of COVID-19 on cancer care in India: a cohort study

Priya Ranganathan et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the delivery of oncology services in India, leading to reductions in new patient registrations, outpatient and inpatient visits, chemotherapy, surgeries, radiotherapy, diagnostic tests, and palliative care referrals. Cancer screening was stopped completely or functioning at minimal capacity, which is likely to have substantial long-term impact on cancer stage migration and outcomes in India.

Evaluating the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on New Cancer Diagnoses and Oncology Care in Manitoba

Kathleen M. Decker et al.

Summary: The impact of COVID-19 on new cancer diagnoses and oncology care in Manitoba, Canada was evaluated using an interrupted time series design. The study found significant decreases in new cancer diagnoses, pathology reports, and surgical resections in April 2020, but no difference in these measures by later months. Additionally, there were decreases in radiotherapy fractions, UCC visits, and in-person visits from April 2020 to June 2021. The impact on stages at diagnosis and survival will be further assessed in future analyses.
