Dr. Bogdan Tănase, Chief Surgeon for Thoracic Surgery and General Surgery, Medical Director of the Bucharest Cancer Institute, spoke at the “Academy of Health” about the effect that difficult access of patients to medical research during the pandemic of coronavirus.
“The global problem of access to care for cancer patients during the pandemic is not limited to what happens at the Institute of Oncology, because generally we reach patients with a diagnosis already made.
What I think is happening, and we will probably see the consequences, is that there has been much less research to diagnose neoplastic diseases. Overall, there have been far fewer endoscopies, far fewer colonoscopies, perhaps far fewer imaging investigations, and the price tag for this more difficult access to medical services is sure to be seen in a few months when more advanced cancers are likely to be diagnosed. “Dr. Bogdan Tănase said on the” Academy of Health “program.
