Ucwaningo kumagazini kaMashi 2022 we-JNCCN-Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network uhlole imininingwane evela ku-Ontario Cancer Registry kusukela ngoSepthemba 25, 2016 kuya kuSepthemba 26, 2020, ukuthola umthelela wobhubhane lwe-COVID-19 enanini lomdlavuza omusha. amacala atholiwe. Bathole iziguli zabantu abadala ezingama-358,487 ezazinomdlavuza omusha owatholwa ngaleso sikhathi. Izinga lesonto nesonto lokuxilongwa laliqinile ngaphambi kwalolu bhubhane, kodwa lehla ngamaphesenti angama-34.3 ngoMashi wezi-2020. Ngemuva kwalokho, kwaba nokuthambekela kokunyuka okungu-1% kokuxilongwa okusha isonto ngalinye kuso sonke isikhathi socwaningo.

"Imininingwane yethu ikhombisa ukuthi imidlavuza eminingi ayibonwanga ngenxa yokuphazamiseka ohlelweni lokunakekelwa kwezempilo ngenxa yobhubhane lwe-COVID-19," kuchaza u-Antoine Eskander, MD, ScM, ICES, Toronto, Ontario. “Lokhu kuyakhathaza ngoba ukubambezeleka kokuhlolelwa umdlavuza kuhambisana namathuba amancane okuthi welapheke. Abahlinzeki bezempilo kufanele bakhuthaze iziguli ukuthi zibambe iqhaza ekuhlolweni komdlavuza uma kukhona abaphuthelwe phakathi nalolu bhubhane, futhi kufanele basebenzise umkhawulo ophansi ukuze baphenye iziguli ezinanoma yiziphi izimpawu ezingajwayelekile ezingase zihlobane nomdlavuza ongatholakali. "

Ukwehla kokuxilonga okusha kwatholakala kukho kokubili umdlavuza wokuhlola—labo abanezinhlelo zokuhlola ezisemthethweni njengomdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho, umdlavuza webele kanye nomdlavuza we-colorectal (futhi ngezinye izikhathi nomdlavuza wamaphaphu)—kanye nomdlavuza ongahloliwe. Abacwaningi balinganisela cishe umdlavuza oyi-12,600 ongabonwanga phakathi kukaMashi 15 noSepthemba 26, 2020. Ukuncipha okukhulu kokuxilongwa kwatholakala kumdlavuza we-melanoma, womlomo wesibeletho, we-endocrine, nowe-prostate.

"Lo bhubhane udale izinguquko ezinkulu ohlelweni lokunakekelwa kwezempilo, okuhlanganisa nokwehla okudabukisayo ekuhlolweni komdlavuza," kuphawula uHarold Burstein, MD, PhD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, obengazibandakanyi nalolu cwaningo. “Lolu cwaningo wumbiko owenziwe kahle ovela e-Ontario, eCanada, lapho etholakala khona amarekhodi esifundazweni sonke, futhi lukhombisa ukwehla okukhulu ekuhlolweni kwe-colorectal (colonoscopy), umlomo wesibeletho (Pap smear), kanye nomdlavuza webele (mammogram) ekuqaleni. izinyanga zobhubhane. Okutholakele okufanayo kuye kwabikwa ezikhungweni zezempilo ezinkulu kulo lonke elaseNyakatho Melika, eYurophu, nakwamanye amazwe anezinhlelo zokuhlola ezandile.”

UDkt. Burstein—oyilungu le-NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) Yomdlavuza Webele—uqhube wathi: “Naphezu kwalolu bhubhane, kubalulekile ukuthi abantu baqhubeke nokuhlolelwa umdlavuza okutuswayo. Ngezinyathelo zokuphepha ze-COVID ezibekwe imitholampilo, kuphephe kakhulu ukuthi abantu babone ithimba labo lezokwelapha ukuze bathole ama-mammograms avamile, i-pap smear, nokunye ukuhlola okubalulekile. Ngenhlanhla, lapha eBoston nakwezinye izikhungo eziningi, izinombolo zethu zokuhlolwa kwe-mammogram zilulama ngokushesha ngemva kokuthula ngo-2020, futhi senza konke esingakwenza ukukhumbuza abantu ngokubaluleka kokuhlolwa njalo.”

I-NCCN iphinde yahlangana namaqembu omdlavuza ezweni lonke ukwabelana ngolwazi ngokubaluleka nokuphepha kokuhlolelwa umdlavuza.

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:

“This study is a well done report from Ontario, Canada, where province-wide records are available, and it shows a huge decline in screening for colorectal (colonoscopy), cervical (Pap smear), and breast cancer (mammogram) in the early months of the pandemic.
Research in the March 2022 issue of JNCCN—Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network examined data from the Ontario Cancer Registry from September 25, 2016 through September 26, 2020, to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of new cancer cases detected.
Fortunately, here in Boston and many other centers, our numbers of screening mammograms are recovering rapidly after the lull in 2020, and we are doing all we can to remind people of the importance of regular screening.
