The National COVID Cancer Antibody Survey: a hyper-accelerated study proof of principle for cancer research

Fittall, Matthew ; Liu, Justin ; Platt, James ; Ionescu, Maria ; Sheehan, Remarez ; Johal, Sukhmunni ; Mew, Rosie ; Clark, James ; Watts, Izzy ; Tripathy, Arvind ; Little, Martin ; Patel, Grisma ; Panneerselvam, Hari ; Appanna, Nathan ; Burke, Emma ; McKenzie, Hayley ; Tilby, Michael ; Khan, Sam ; Lee, Lennard Y. W.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a range of novel and adaptive research designs. In this perspective, we use our experience coordinating the National COVID Cancer Antibody Survey to demonstrate how a balance between speed and integrity can be achieved within a hyper-accelerated study design. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as an example, we show this approach is necessary in the face of uncertain and evolving situations wherein reliable information is needed in a timely fashion to guide policy. We [...]

Motivation of patients with chronic cancer during COVID-19: a qualitative analysis

Georgescu, Irène ; Minvielle, Etienne ; Scotté, Florian

Purpose: Motivation to treat cancer and prevent its negative impact has been largely explored in a non-pandemic context. However, little is known about the motivation to comply with the treatment, especially during a pandemic. To fill this gap, we have explored the individual and contextual factors impacting patients’ motivation during the COVID-19 period using the integrated model. Methods: We have conducted two qualitative studies before (study 1) and during the COVID-19 (study 2) period in a [...]
