The pandemic significantly affected cancer screenings, in turn leading to a greater number of advanced disease presentations. Furthermore, some surgical and pharmacological treatments were deferred, complicating risk\u2010benefit assessments resulted in complex and challenging decisions regarding patient care. Cancer patients experienced substantial psychological distress, which was exacerbated by delays in treatment and anxiety about contracting COVID\u201019. The commentary highlights the critical importance of adaptive measures, such as telemedicine and home\u2010based palliative care, to minimize the effects of future health crises on cancer
