Description
Yong Li and three co-authors assess how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped early breast cancer care in the United States. Their study appeared in twenty twenty-four. Lockdowns and strained hospitals delayed screening and surgery across many cancers.
Using a national cancer registry, the team compared over one hundred forty-two thousand patients from twenty twenty with the two prior years. Diagnoses and surgeries both fell in twenty twenty. The stage mix shifted later, with fewer stage zero to one cases. Breast-conserving surgery and radiation shares dropped, while chemotherapy rose. Treatment delays, oddly, shortened. Survival for the twenty twenty group ran worse than for twenty eighteen patients. The authors document a lasting scar on early cancer care.
