Błaszczuk, Agata ; Sikora, Dominika ; Kiś, Jacek ; Stępień, Ewa ; Drop, Bartłomiej ; Polz-Dacewicz, Małgorzata

Cancer is an important public health problem. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men. In Poland, the incidence of this type of cancer is constantly growing. Considering the appearance of a new coronavirus in December 2019 (SARS-CoV-2) and the fact that oncology patients, including those with prostate cancer, are particularly vulnerable to infection, it is recommended to get vaccinated against COVID-19. In our study, we determined the level and prevalence of antibodies [...]

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer patients in western Pennsylvania: rural–urban disparities

Demanelis, Kathryn ; Rosenzweig, Margaret ; Robertson, Linda B. ; Low, Carissa A. ; Daniels, Shayla ; Abujaradeh, Hiba ; Simon, Beth ; Bovbjerg, Dana H. ; Diergaarde, Brenda

Purpose: Disparities in cancer care persist between patients living in rural versus urban areas. The COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted concerns related to care and personal health differently in rural cancer patients. Using survey data collected from cancer patients in western Pennsylvania, we examined pandemic-related distress, concerns related to cancer care, impact on personal health, and the extent to which these differed by urban–rural residence. Methods: Patients filled out an initial [...]

Humoral Immunity After COVID-19 Vaccination in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Other Indolent Lymphomas: A Single-Center Observational Study

Doukas, Peter G ; St. Pierre, Frederique ; Karmali, Reem ; Mi, Xinlei ; Boyer, Jennifer ; Nieves, Mariana ; Ison, Michael G ; Winter, Jane N ; Gordon, Leo I ; Ma, Shuo

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHLs) lead to broad immunosuppression, conferring a greater risk for morbidity and mortality from SARS-CoV-2. Our study analyzed antibody (Ab) seropositivity from SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with these cancers.In the final analysis, 240 patients were involved, and seropositivity was defined as a positive total or spike protein Ab.Seropositivity was 50% in CLL, 68% in WM, and 70% in the remaining NHLs. Moderna [...]

COVID-19 in Adult Patients with Hematological Malignancies - Lessons Learned after Three Years of Pandemic

Hus, Iwona ; Szymczyk, Agnieszka ; Mańko, Joanna ; Drozd-Sokołowska, Joanna

The COVID-19 pandemic is undoubtedly the most difficult health challenge of the 21st century with more than 600 million laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections and over 6.5 million deaths worldwide. The coronavirus pandemic contributed to rapid development of mRNA vaccines, which, along with new antiviral drugs, have been the subject of extensive research for many decades. Nevertheless, elderly, multi-morbid and immunocompromised patients continue to face a more severe clinical course and a [...]

Describing and exploring physical activity experiences among adults with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic: a mixed-methods survey study

Lesser, Iris ; Janzen, Anna ; Arshad, Nafeel ; Wurz, Amanda

Understanding if (and how) adults with cancer perceived their physical activity (PA) levels have changed (or not) since the COVID-19 pandemic and why this may have occurred is important. Given current gaps in knowledge, the purpose of this study was to explore PA experiences among adults with cancer amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals were eligible if they were currently ≥19?years of age, had been diagnosed with cancer ≥18?years of age, and were living in Canada. 113 adults affected by [...]

Projected long-term effects of colorectal cancer screening disruptions following the COVID-19 pandemic

Nascimento de Lima, Pedro ; van den Puttelaar, Rosita ; Hahn, Anne I. ; Harlass, Matthias ; Collier, Nicholson ; Ozik, Jonathan ; Zauber, Ann G. ; Lansdorp-Vogelaar, Iris ; Rutter, Carolyn M.

The aftermath of the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic may contribute to the widening of disparities in colorectal cancer (CRC) outcomes due to differential disruptions to CRC screening. This comparative microsimulation analysis uses two CISNET CRC models to simulate the impact of ongoing screening disruptions induced by the COVID-19 pandemic on long-term CRC outcomes. We evaluate three channels through which screening was disrupted: delays in screening, regimen switching, and screening [...]

Vaccination for seasonal influenza, pneumococcal infection and SARS-CoV-2 in patients with solid tumors: recommendations of the Associazione Italiana di Oncologia Medica (AIOM)

Pedrazzoli, P. ; Lasagna, A. ; Cassaniti, I. ; Piralla, A. ; Squeri, A. ; Bruno, R. ; Sacchi, P. ; Baldanti, F. ; Di Maio, M. ; Beretta, G. D. ; Cinieri, S. ; Silvestris, N.

Patients with cancer have a well-known and higher risk of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs). VPDs may cause severe complications in this setting due to immune system impairment, malnutrition and oncological treatments. Despite this evidence, vaccination rates are inadequate. The Italian Association of Medical Oncology [Associazione Italiana di Oncologia Medica (AIOM)] has been involved in vaccination awareness since 2014. Based on a careful review of the available data about the [...]

Bend but don't break: Experience of a diverse New York City lung cancer screening program during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic

Stahl, Maximilian C. ; Shamah, Steven ; Wattamwar, Kapil ; Furlani, Andrea C. ; Serrano, Maria ; Haramati, Linda B.

Rationale and objectives : The COVID-19 pandemic led to the national shutdown and subsequent reopening of cancer screening programs. Our diverse inner-city lung cancer screening program serves patients in the Bronx NY, which was severely affected by COVID-19, with the highest mortality in New York State in the spring of 2020. Staffing redeployment, quarantine protocols, increased safety measures, and changes in follow up resulted. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the [...]

Updated Review of Major Cancer Risk Factors and Screening Test Use in the United States, with a Focus on Changes During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Star, Jessica ; Bandi, Priti ; Nargis, Nigar ; Islami, Farhad ; Yabroff, K Robin ; Minihan, Adair K. ; Smith, Robert A. ; Jemal, Ahmedin

We present national and state representative prevalence estimates of modifiable cancer risk factors, preventive behaviors and services, and screening, with a focus on changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between 2019 and 2021, current smoking, physical inactivity, and heavy alcohol consumption declined, and human papillomavirus vaccination and stool testing for colorectal cancer screening uptake increased. In contrast, obesity prevalence increased, while fruit consumption and cervical cancer [...]

Association of Food Deserts and Food Swamps With Obesity-Related Cancer Mortality in the US

Bevel, Malcolm Seth ; Tsai, Meng-Han ; Parham, April ; Andrzejak, Sydney Elizabeth ; Jones, Samantha ; Moore, Justin Xavier

Importance : Obesity-related cancers account for 40% of all cancers in the US. Healthy food consumption is a modifiable factor shown to reduce obesity-related cancer mortality, but residing in areas with less access to grocery stores (food deserts) or higher access to fast food (food swamps) reduces healthy food access and has been understudied. Objective : To analyze the association of food deserts and food swamps with obesity-related cancer mortality in the US. Design, Setting, and [...]

A Critical Need to Examine the Lack of Access to Healthy Quality Foods and Its Association With Cancer Mortality—A Clarion Call for Multilevel Research and Interventions

Watson, Karriem S. ; Odoms-Young, Angela

Since the landmark review by Doll and Peto estimating the percentage of cancer deaths attributed to diet and other lifestyle factors more than 40 years ago, there has been a growing body of epidemiological and intervention research to identify and address modifiable risk factors associated with high rates of cancer morbidity and mortality in the US and globally. Yet, whereas historically, studies targeted individual-level drivers, evidence has shown that cancer outcomes are significantly [...]
