50,000 fewer men were urgently referred for suspected prostate cancer during pandemic

Experts warned the lost referrals could lead to thousands of delayed diagnoses and avoidable deaths.  NHS England data shows the number of patients urgently referred for the cancer fell by 28 per cent between April 2020 and January of this year - about 52,000 fewer. The charity Prostate Cancer UK estimates at least 8,600 fewer men started treatment for prostate cancer in that time, down around a third on 2019.  It said the drop in referrals is largely attributed to fewer men seeing their GP during this time. Urgent cancer referrals are made when family doctors strongly suspect a patient may have the disease. For example, separate NHS Digital figures show there have been 35million GP appointments over the course of the pandemic.  

Over 300,000 are stuck on NHS waiting lists for more than a year

This disruption meant tens of thousands of planned operations and other non-Covid treatments were put on ice, adding to the enormous backlog of elective surgeries that we now see. The number of people admitted for routine treatment in January was down 54 percent compared with January 2020. Tracey Loftis, from the charity Versus Arthritis, said cancelled operations and long waits meant some patients were losing their quality of life. She said: We have heard from people who have lost jobs, are unable to care for relatives and are seeking help for depression because of the debilitating pain they are in. The data also shows that 171,231 urgent cancer referrals were made by GPs in January - an 11 percent drop on the 191,852 made in January 2020.
