Description

This Open Access textbook covers the effects impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Cancer care and how health care professionals and people with a cancer diagnosis have been affected. It discusses current research covering COVID and Cancer and considers the different impacts on patients with solid tumours and those with a haematological malignancy.  The authors critically appraise how technology has been used to combat the pandemic as well as impacts on patient management and their well-being, education of health care professionals as well as the delivery of oncology cancer treatments. They also examine the ongoing psychological effects on patients, health care professionals and provide an analysis of the effects of the pandemic on the charitable sector in cancer care. Importantly this book provides both a UK and a European perspective on the above as well as looking forward to appraise the long-term effect of the pandemic on cancer care, both positive and negative.
