Influence of COVID‐19 on the clinical characteristics of patients with uterine cervical cancer in Japan: A single‐center retrospective study
The number of patients with invasive carcinoma and the percentage of patients with invasive carcinoma referred from private clinics increased, indicating that the COVID-19 pandemic influenced patients to delay consultations. Furthermore, the surge in patients from other prefectures indicates that medical resources were more limited in rural areas, another impact of COVID-19.
