VJVirtual | Impact of COVID-19 on lung cancer in the UK

Robert Rintoul, PhD, FRCP, University of Cambridge and Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge, UK; Chair of the UK Lung Cancer Coalition Clinical Advisory Group discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted lung cancer care in the UK. Problems include an increase in missed screenings and the fact that lung cancer symptoms overlap with COVID symptoms, both of which have resulted in delayed diagnoses for many patients, resulting in poorer outcomes.
