Ce dossier présente un ensemble d'articles concernant la prise en charge des cancers durant la crise sanitaire liée au COVID-19
Introduction : We evaluate the impact of COVID-epidemic in colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis during Spain's state of emergency.
Methods : We compared newly diagnosed patients with patients diagnosed in the same period of 2019.
Results : A new diagnosis of CRC decreased 48% with a higher rate of patients diagnosed in the emergency setting (12.1% vs. 3.6%; p = .048) and a lower rate diagnosed in the screening program (5.2% vs. 33.3%; p = .000).
Conclusions: Fewer patients have been diagnosed with CRC, with a higher rate of patients diagnosed in an emergency setting.
