?:abstract
  • The number of cancer patients starting treatment between April and July 2020 in the UK has reduced by 26% (31 000) compared with the same period in 2019, according to figures analysed by Cancer Research UK 1 The charity said the drop is from a reduction in the number of people being referred to or attending secondary care, as well as the pause of screening programmes and some diagnostic tests because of the pandemic A survey of GPs commissioned by the charity has revealed increased waiting times and delays for diagnostic tests, including blood test services (reported by 53% of GPs) and upper gastrointestinal and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy (reported by 70% and 62% respectively) Cancer Research UK has called on the government to invest in cancer services in the upcoming spending review 1 Chief executive Michelle Mitchell said, “We are at a critical juncture where we are worried about the impact covid-19 will have on the country, the economy, on our families—but we should also be worried about the impact on cancer survival
