The Autopsy, a Fading Practice, Revealed Secrets of COVID-19
By MARION RENAULT Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The COVID-19 pandemic has helped revive the autopsy. When the virus first arrived in U.S. hospitals, doctors could only guess what was causing its strange constellation of symptoms: What could explain why patients were losing their sense of smell and taste, developing skin rashes, struggling to breathe and reporting memory loss on top of flu-like coughs and aches?

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 2221: Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Surgical Treatment Patterns for Colorectal Cancer in a Tertiary Medical Facility in Korea
This study assessed the effects of the pandemic on the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment patterns of colorectal cancer patients at a tertiary medical facility in Korea. Patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery at our institution between March and September 2020 were analyzed. Clinicopathological and treatment characteristics were compared with those of patients who underwent surgery in 2018 and 2019. The patients who did not undergo tumor resection (4.1% vs. 1.8%, p < 0.001) and who received neoadjuvant treatment (16.7% vs. 14.7%, p = 0.039) were significantly higher during the COVID period...

Effects of COVID-19 pandemic on colorectal cancer surgery
CONCLUSION: The presentation of patients with suspicious findings to the hospital was delayed, due both to the fear of catching COVID-19 and to the pandemic precautions that were proposed and implemented by healthcare authorities worldwide. Among the patients who presented to the hospital with emergency complaints and in whom colorectal cancer was detected, their disease was at a more advanced stage and thus a higher number of emergency oncological surgical procedures were performed on those patients.PMID:34586288 | DOI:10.1590/1516-3180.2021.0357.R1.30062021

J Natl Med Assoc. 2022 Mar 20:S0027-9684(22)00002-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jnma.2022.01.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA need exists to examine racial disparities in the healthcare arena and the impact on patients with cancer. Despite ongoing efforts to increase equity in primary healthcare access, racial and socioeconomic disparities persist, thus contributing to disproportionate treatment outcomes and survivorship among minority and low-income patients. Such disparities have been revealed in treatment cohorts of patients with multiple forms of cancer, including breast, cervical, ovarian, endometrial, prostate, lung, colorec...
