The growing number of cancer survivors and the high prevalence of cancer-related physical and psychosocial effects pose important and pressing challenges to health systems. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to further stressors on cancer survivors and health care systems. As the pandemic continues to have substantial impact on the world, it is critical to focus attention on the health care needs of cancer survivors. In this commentary, we propose an adoption of essential steps that should be part of a continuous adaptive approach to promote effective cancer survivorship care during ongoing COVID-19 waves and beyond.
不断增加的癌症幸存者人数,以及与癌症相关的高发生理和心理社会影响,对卫生系统构成了重要且紧迫的挑战。2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行给癌症幸存者和医疗保健系统带来了更大的压力。随着大流行继续对世界产生重大影响,关注癌症幸存者的医疗保健需求至关重要。在这篇评论中,我们提出了一些基本步骤,这些步骤应该成为持续适应方法的一部分,以促进在持续的 COVID-19 浪潮期间和之后进行有效的癌症生存者护理。
