The first official data on cancer rates during the pandemic covering 2020 for incidence rates, the year where the healthcare services were most disrupted, and 2021 for death rates. The results are surprising and go against the typical narrative that if we would see an increase in these rates it would be due to the disruption of such services.
What we cover:
*Cancer incidence rates up to 2020 – biggest service disruptions
*Cancer death rates up to 2021
*Why the data is lagging behind
*The resulting trend does not yet support the most common narrative
*The pandemic merely elevated the ranking of cancer as a cause of death among the top reasons why Americans died
