The Hidden Cost of Delay: Post-Pandemic Evolution of Advanced Ovarian Cancer Profiles
The findings indicate an association between the post-pandemic period and more advanced disease profiles at presentation, as well as increased surgical complexity, highlighting potential long-term effects of healthcare disruption. These results highlight the necessity for resilient cancer care systems emphasizing early detection, multidisciplinary coordination, and adaptive treatment models to mitigate future systemic disruptions and preserve survival outcomes in women with HGSOC.
