COVID-19 impacted several health services, including cancer-related care. Its implications were significant due to the lapse in hospital resources, compounded by the delays stemming from the economic effects on patients' jobs and medical coverage. Furthermore, reports suggesting an increased risk for morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 in patients with cancer and those on active cancer treatment caused additional fear and potential delays in seeking medical services. This review provides an overview of the pandemic's impact on cancer care in the United States and suggests measures for tackling similar situations in the future.
COVID-19 对多项医疗服务产生了影响，包括癌症相关的治疗。由于医院资源的短缺，以及疫情对患者工作和医疗保障造成的经济影响导致的延误，其影响是巨大的。此外，有报告称，COVID-19 使癌症患者和正在接受癌症治疗的患者的发病率和死亡率增加，这引发了更多的恐惧，并可能导致他们延迟寻求医疗服务。这篇综述概述了 COVID-19 对美国癌症治疗的影响，并提出了未来应对类似情况的措施。
