Track: COVID-19 and Its Impact on Cancer

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the landscape of global healthcare, with oncology among the most profoundly affected fields. The session “COVID-19 and Its Impact on Cancer” offers a vital exploration of how the pandemic influenced cancer care, research, and patient outcomes, and what this means for the future of oncology.

One of the most critical consequences of the pandemic was the delay in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Routine screenings were postponed, elective procedures were halted, and many patients avoided hospitals due to fear of infection. These delays resulted in later-stage diagnoses and potentially poorer prognoses for many cancer patients.

Immunocompromised Patients and COVID-19 Risks will highlight the increased vulnerability of cancer patients, especially those undergoing chemotherapy or stem cell transplants to severe COVID-19 infection.

The adoption of Tele-Oncology emerged as a key innovation, allowing patients to access care remotely while minimizing infection risk. This session will evaluate its long-term role in oncology care models.

The pandemic also caused significant disruptions in cancer research and clinical trials, leading to halted enrollments and delayed progress.

Psychosocial Effects on Patients and Caregivers includes the added burden of isolation, anxiety over infection, and uncertainty about treatment during the pandemic significantly impacted mental health. This sub-session focuses on the rise in psychosocial support services and coping strategies developed during this time.

The session also examines vaccination guidance for cancer patients, particularly those with compromised immunity, and how their response to COVID-19 vaccines is being managed within treatment plans. Oncology professionals faced increased workloads during the pandemic, and Learn how the cancer care workforce adapted to the crisis and what support structures are needed for future resilience.
