Pandemic has created ‘cancer timebomb’ Leading oncologist warns of ‘enormous implications’ for time-dependent care Delays to cancer diagnosis and treatment caused by the #Covid-19 crisis could increase #cancer mortality rates for the next decade, a leading oncologist has warned. Citing recent statistics from the National Cancer Institute, Prof. Seamus O’Reilly, of Cork University Hospital and the Mercy University Hospital, said that as a result of the pandemic, patients were wary about coming into hospital. “Services had to be curtailed due to social distancing and redeployment of staff,” said Prof O’Reilly. “Our health service still has not returned to normal. This has enormous implications, and our concern as oncologists is of delayed cancer diagnosis occurring as a result.”
