Course: Changes in Newly Identified Cancer Among US Patients From Before COVID-19 Through the First Full Year of the Pandemic

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2021-08-31

We previously reported a substantial decline in new cancer diagnosed early in the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. During the period from March 1 to April 18, 2020, weekly cases fell 46.4% (from 4310 to 2310) for 6 cancers combined, with significant declines for each type. This was expected, given recommendations to conserve health care resources to address the initial set of patients with COVID-19. Medical practices have since reopened, but patient concerns remain. This study updates the analysis through March 2021.
