Identifying predictors of COVID-related delays in cancer-specific medical care
CONCLUSION: These findings may inform cancer care delivery during periods of instability when treatment may be disrupted by informing clinicians about concerns that patients have during the treatment process. Future research should assess whether delays in cancer care impact long-term cancer outcomes and whether delays exacerbate existing disparities in cancer outcomes.PMID:38629238 | DOI:10.1002/cam4.7183 (Source: Cancer Control)
