It appears that people are starting to return to routine cancer screenings at rates seen before the pandemic, research suggests
“We were thinking there would be a rebound in late 2020,” said Dr. William Dahut, chief scientific officer of the American Cancer Society. “We were surprised to see the continued increase in the number of folks not getting their screenings.” But more recently, it appears that people are starting to return to routine screenings at rates seen before the pandemic, separate research suggests.
The researchers also found some racial differences, as the Asian community had the largest declines in breast, cervical and prostate cancer screenings. “These findings are especially concerning as cancer is the leading cause of death in both Asian American men and women,” wrote the researchers, all from the American Cancer Society. Dahut said that anyone who missed a routine cancer screening during the early days of the pandemic should catch up now.
