New research suggests that since the first coronavirus lockdown, the number of people diagnosed with bowel cancer in England has fallen sharply, with a deficit persisting up to October 2020. Between April and October 2020, more than 3,500 fewer patients than expected were diagnosed with the condition, according to the study by the University of Oxford. Researchers say that as bowel cancer is more likely to be curable if it is detected at an early stage, these results may suggest that many patients, whose diagnosis has yet to be made, may die unnecessarily. The study results show that compared with an average month in 2019, during April 2020 at the peak of the first wave of coronavirus, the monthly number of referrals by GPs to hospital clinics for investigation of possible bowel cancer fell by 63% from 36,274 to 13,440.
