Cancer patients diagnosed during the pandemic had lower one-year survival rates due to delayed care, causing an estimated 17,400 excess deaths.
A new study in JAMA Oncology finds that cancer patients diagnosed in 2020 and 2021 had lower one-year survival rates than those diagnosed from 2015 to 2019, across multiple cancer types and stages, despite ongoing declines in overall cancer death rates.
Researchers analyzed over 1 million cases and estimate about 17,400 excess deaths within a year of diagnosis, likely due to pandemic-related delays in screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
While the exact causes remain unclear, experts say healthcare system disruptions were a key factor.
