The Impact of COVID‐19 on the presentation, stage and management of head and neck cancer patients: A real‐time assessment

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, it was postulated that there might be a delay in cancer patients` presentation, stage migration, changes in management leading to excess cancer mortality [1]. However, there is a paucity of real-time objective data to support this, particularly in HNC. In our HNC multidisciplinary team (MDT), approximately 300 new patients present annually. The purpose of this observational study was to assess the impact of Covid-19 on the presentation, stage and management pattern on newly presented HNC patients during the pandemic era.
