Modelling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer stage migration and excess mortality in Ireland
The study provides potential evidence for an upward stage migration in those with breast cancer and NSCLC due to the pandemic. It is important to determine the longer-term impacts so that strategies are developed to mitigate adverse effects and improve health system preparedness for future unprecedented events.
