Cancer care collapsed during the pandemic: screenings stopped, surgeries were cancelled, diagnoses fell, and outcomes worsened, even as hospitals stayed underused.

Treatment schedules matter. Even small delays can change survival odds. Pandemic disruptions left many cancer patients vulnerable and anxious at the worst possible time. @sense_covid #WeCanDoBetter
Rushed authorization of medical products should come with clear, honest communication. Declarations of safety are not appropriate in the absence of safety testing. We need transparency. #WeCanDoBetter @sense_covid

Cancer was six times more deadly than COVID-19 in 2020, but screenings and surgeries were suspended anyway. We must shift away from siloed-decision making. @sense_covid
Lockdowns worsened lifestyle factors tied to cancer risk: stress, inactivity, poor diet, and disrupted routines. Prevention was sidelined when people needed support.

Non-emergent surgeries were suspended to “preserve capacity” for COVID cases, yet acute care wards remained largely underused. Meanwhile, cancer progressed unchecked. We owe patients better planning.

Screening saves lives. Every missed mammogram, colonoscopy, or biopsy is a lost opportunity for early treatment. The backlog began in 2020 and consequences took years to resolve.

Ontario saw 8,020 fewer cancer surgeries in 2020 alone, while acute care wards remained mostly empty. Cancer didn’t pause, care did. We must re-establish care equity for cancer in every crisis.

The white paper shows lockdowns harmed every aspect of cancer care—detection, diagnosis, surgery, treatment, and prevention. Risk factors increased while care collapsed.

Traditional vaccines undergo 10+ years of safety testing. Emergency authorizations compressed timelines to under a year, raising serious questions about safety testing.

Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and diagnostic imaging were delayed or altered during the pandemic, placing patients at greater risk.
By 2024, 50% of aggressive cancer surgeries missed target wait times.

Ontario saw 636,246 fewer screenings and 5,894 fewer cancer diagnoses in 2020. Suspended detection meant cancers were found later—after cancer had progressed.

The data is clear: cancer caused 30,054 deaths in 2020 vs. 4,758 from COVID-19—a 6× higher toll. Yet cancer care was compromised in favour of COVID-19?

Are cancer rates actually increasing? We observed a clear increase in hospital care events and visits for PATHOGEN-driven cancers.
These signals were so strong that they remained apparent despite the public health-induced suspension of cancer care over the COVID-19 period.

Multiple factors likely contributed to the rise in female cancers, most notably the decimation of cancer care due to public health directives. #PublicHealth #WeCanDoBetter #CancerCrisis
During the first COVID wave, 95% of hospital beds were left empty while life saving cancer surgeries were cancelled.
The #WeCanDoBetter campaign calls for care equity and collaborative clinical decision-making in the next health crisis.

During COVID, centralized planning led to siloed decision-making and inequities in cancer care.
The #WeCanDoBetter campaign calls for collaborative clinical decision-making to ensure every patient is considered in the next health crisis.

Our COVID response disrupted cancer care, delaying diagnoses and treatments, allowing cancer to progress. #WeCanDoBetter aims to ensure equitable care for all Canadians, regardless of disease. Help us protect everyone in the next pandemic.

Agree. Support our call for a public inquiry in Canada by sending a strong message to the government. Support our open letter calling to halt the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. call2halt19.ca
