description COVID-19 impacted several health services, including cancer-related care. Its implications were significant due to the lapse in hospital resources, compounded by the delays stemming from the economic effects on patients’ jobs and medical coverage.

This review provides an overview of the pandemic’s impact on cancer care in the United States and suggests measures for tackling similar situations in the future.
