Many Americans were forced Postponed cancer offers Colon theorization, X-ray imaging and lung wiping-several months in 2020, when Covid-19 overwhelmed doctors and hospitals.
But this delay in the examination does not have a significant impact on cancer statistics, at least it cannot be seen yet by experts who follow data.
Cancer death rates continue to decline, and there were no huge transformations in late diagnoses, according to a new report published Monday In the Cancer Journal. It is the broadest analysis of Kate for the influence of the epidemic on cancer data in the United States.
In 2020, with the start of the epidemic, a greater share of US cancer was arrested in later stages, when it is difficult to treat. But in 2021, these disturbing diagnoses returned to Prepandemic levels of most types of cancer.
“It is very reassuring,” said Ryena Sherman’s major author of the North American Central Cancer Association. “Until now, we haven’t seen much late diagnoses,” which makes it unlikely that there are higher cancer death rates associated with the epidemic.
Likewise, the number of new cancer cases decreased in 2020, but then returned to Prepand feature by 2021. The size of the 2020 decreased in the new diagnosed new cancers was similar throughout the states, despite the differences in the restrictions of Covid-19 policy. Researchers note that human behavior and local hospitals policies have played a role than state policy restrictions.
Dials for cervical and prostate cancer increased in 2021, but the transformations were not great. Data analysis only goes until 2021, so it is not the last word.
Sherman said: “We haven’t seen any prominent transformations.” “Therefore, people with aggressive disease are unlikely to be diagnosed during that time period.”
The report was produced by the North American Society for Central Cancer Registry, the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Cancer Society.
