Cancer Screen Week is particularly important this year, as more than one-third of people living in the U.S. have missed routine cancer screenings due to COVID-19, potentially leading to many cancers being undetected. This year alone, there were nearly 1 million fewer mammograms, colorectal cancer screenings, and cervical cancer screenings, compared to previous years. The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened potential social determinants of health by creating additional challenges, such as unemployment, potential delays for health appointments, or being at higher risk of COVID-19 infection or complications. Regular screening can help find certain cancers early, when they are most likely to be treated successfully. Learn more about cancer screening at https://fal.cn/3c3ME
