The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted cancer screening programmes. Kregting and colleagues' microsimulation models indicate that attempting to quickly catch up with missed screens while simultaneously restarting the ongoing programme would achieve better outcomes but require substantial increases in normal screening capacity that may not be feasible.
冠状病毒大流行打乱了癌症筛查计划。Kregting 及其同事的微观模拟模型表明,尝试在快速追赶错过的筛查的同时重新启动正在进行的计划将产生更好的结果,但需要大幅增加正常筛查能力,而这可能是不可行的。
