Abstract
New York City was the first place in the US to record a COVID-19 case on March 1, 2020, and soon became the epicenter of the pandemic. Because of the large number of hospitalized patients, Governor Cuomo imposed a halt on all elective care from March 22 to June 8, 2020. Such action resulted in delayed cancer screening rates, care and treatment. However, no study has quantified the effect of the “pause” on cancer stage at diagnosis, one of the best indicators of cancer prognosis. We analyze here data from the Mount Sinai Heath System cancer registry; we chose lung cancer as an example of a condition where early diagnosis can dramatically modify survival.
