Impacts of climate change on cancer risk, clinical outcomes, and care delivery: A scoping review
Climate change has impacts across the cancer care continuum. Research gaps include limited data on the direct effect of climate change on cancer outcomes and care delivery, population health research, and mitigation efficacy. More work is needed in education, adaptation, and climate preparedness for cancer patients and healthcare systems.
