Consultations for clinical features of possible cancer and associated urgent referrals before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: an observational cohort study from English primary care

Brian D. Nicholson et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, consultations for cancer clinical features and urgent referrals decreased significantly, particularly in the 6-12 weeks following the first national lockdown. Overall, once patients consulted, GPs continued to urgently refer a similar or greater proportion of patients with suspected cancer compared to previous years.

Primary care practice and cancer suspicion during the first three COVID-19 lockdowns in the UK: a qualitative study

Claire Friedemann Smith et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted primary care in the UK, particularly in terms of cancer suspicion, referral, and diagnosis. The study found that remote and minimal-contact consultations during lockdowns may have led to delayed cancer diagnoses, while patients seemed more willing to seek medical help during subsequent lockdowns. New ways of working were seen as both positive in streamlining services and negative in delaying diagnoses due to limited access to relevant information.

The Impact of the COVID Pandemic on the Incidence of Presentations with Cancer-Related Symptoms in Primary Care

Matthew P. Grant et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patient presentations for cancer-related symptoms in primary care in the Netherlands. The findings show a 34% reduction in the incidence of cancer-related symptoms during the first wave of the pandemic, with overall incidence returning to pre-pandemic levels after this period. The study also reveals that primary care avoidance did not increase until the end of the first year of the pandemic for many cancer-related symptoms, suggesting that significant numbers of patients delayed seeking medical help.

Cancer diagnostic rates during the 2020 'lockdown', due to COVID-19 pandemic, compared with the 2018-2019: an audit study from cellular pathology

Ludovica De Vincentiis et al.

Summary: An audit was conducted to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic-related delays in cancer diagnosis at a Pathology Unit in Italy. The study found a significant decrease in cancer diagnoses in 2020, with prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and colorectal cancer showing the greatest declines. The findings highlight the importance of implementing corrective measures for timely cancer diagnosis during pandemics.

Prevalence and determinants of healthcare avoidance during the COVID-19 pandemic: A population-based cross-sectional study

Marije J. Splinter et al.

Summary: The study found that one in five individuals avoided healthcare during the COVID-19 lockdown, with many reporting symptoms that potentially required urgent evaluation. Healthcare avoidance was strongly associated with older age, female sex, low educational level, poor self-appreciated health, unemployment, smoking, concern about contracting COVID-19, symptoms of depression, and anxiety.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on utilisation of healthcare services: a systematic review

Ray Moynihan et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare utilization decreased by approximately one third, with greater reductions observed among individuals with milder illnesses. Studies suggest that understanding the impacts of these reductions on health systems may aid in reducing unnecessary care during postpandemic recovery efforts.

Older adults report cancellation or avoidance of medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic: results from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam

Noah A. Schuster et al.

Summary: During the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, about one third of the study sample reported cancellation or avoidance of medical care, with this behavior being more common among those with multiple chronic conditions. The delay of routine care during the pandemic may have long-term impacts on morbidity and related adverse outcomes, which should be monitored in future research.
