Omicron more deadly; delayed cancer screening results
The new director of the Yale Cancer Center talks about a disturbing trend. More advanced cancers are being detected because so many people put off screenings during the pandemic.
“In 2020, women weren’t getting mammograms, men and women weren’t getting colonoscopies,” explains Dr. Eric Winer.
He says aside from missing key screenings for cancer, people also are neglecting other health aspects.
“There are many people who when they found an initial problem or developed a symptom just tended to delay coming in,” Winer said.
