Using newly released cancer surveillance data, researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) found decreases in cancer diagnoses and proportion of early-stage diagnoses continued in 2021 in the United States during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The proportion of late-stage diagnoses was lower in 2021 than in 2020, but has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. The findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 – 28, 2024.
A new study from researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) found that patients with stage 3 locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received radiation treatment during a hurricane disaster were more likely to experience treatment completion delays. Researchers also reported that patients treated during a hurricane were more likely to receive higher total doses of radiation and complete more fractions. These findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 – 28, 2024.
New research by scientists at the American Cancer Society (ACS) shows patients impacted by a wildfire disaster while recovering from lung cancer surgery have a longer in-hospital length of stay (LOS) than similar patients treated at the same facility at times when no disasters happened. The findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 – 28, 2024.
Patients diagnosed with major diseases, including cancer, often experience financial hardship due to high out-of-pocket medical costs in the United States. However, little is known about changes in income, wealth, and debt before and after major disease diagnoses. New data by researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) shows these families face various new types of debts, especially medical debt, after diagnoses. Moreover, newly diagnosed with cancer is associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing medical debt. The findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 – 28, 2024.
