Nearly a quarter of all new cancer cases may have been missed during the Covid pandemic, a World Health Organisation (WHO) study has found.
Researchers said lockdown restrictions and pressures on healthcare systems saw diagnoses of the disease drop by 23 per cent globally, suggesting it was not identified in around one million people.
The findings come after experts analysed the results of more than 240 different studies, providing the first comprehensive worldwide assessment of the impact of Covid on cancer care.
Just a reminder the next time someone calls for a lockdown.
