- Title
Seeing beyond COVID-19: understanding the impact of the pandemic on oncology, and the importance of preparedness.
- Authors
Carrieri, Daniele; Peccatori, Fedro Alessandro
- Abstract
The impact of this pandemic is not only through COVID-19 itself: the care for non-COVID-19 related conditions has been dramatically curtailed, shaking entire healthcare services around the world. Amongst the non-COVID-19 related conditions, oncology has been disproportionally affected. We discuss how oncology has changed since the acute phase of the pandemic; its impact on clinicians, trainees, and patients; and offer some medical and historical perspectives to reflect on how this impact could be reduced.
