Track: Covid and Its Impact on Cancer

Covid and Its Impact on Cancer session will delve into the
multifaceted impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer research, treatment, and
patient care. The pandemic disrupted essential cancer screenings, diagnoses,
and treatments, resulting in delayed care and potential increases in late-stage
cancer diagnoses. We will discuss how healthcare systems adapted to these
unprecedented challenges and the long-term effects on patient outcomes. Key
topics will include the impact of COVID-19 on cancer-related mortality and
morbidity, adjustments in clinical trials, and the integration of telemedicine
in oncology practice.
Delays in Diagnosis:
Examine the factors contributing
to delays in cancer diagnosis and their impact on patient outcomes. Delays
in Diagnosis sub-session highlights challenges such as healthcare system
disruptions, patient awareness, and access to medical services, while exploring
strategies to enhance early detection and timely treatment.
Treatment Interruptions:
Discuss the causes and
consequences of treatment interruptions in cancer care, including healthcare
disruptions, patient factors, and resource limitations. This sub-session will
explore the impact on treatment outcomes, strategies for continuity of care,
and best practices for minimizing disruptions.
Increased Risk for Cancer Patients:
Explore the heightened risks
cancer patients face, including complications from comorbidities, treatment
side effects, and susceptibility to infections. Increased Risk for Cancer Patients
sub-session will discuss strategies to manage these risks, improve patient
safety, and enhance overall outcomes in cancer care.
Impact on Mental Health:
Explore the profound effects of
cancer diagnosis and treatment on mental health, including anxiety, depression,
and stress. This sub-session will address coping strategies, the importance of
psychological support, and approaches to integrate mental health care into
oncology practice.
Telemedicine Adoption:
Explore the accelerated adoption of telemedicine in oncology
due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its lasting implications. Telemedicine
Adoption sub-session covers benefits, challenges, and best practices for
virtual consultations, enhancing patient access, and maintaining continuity of
care in cancer treatment.
