By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Dec 11 2022Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 , continues to affect the already overburdened healthcare system.
The diagnosis of pancreatic cancer requires an efficient system, as it presents non-specific symptoms. Some of the symptoms associated with this type of cancer include diabetes, bile duct obstruction, weight loss, and hyperglycemia. Electronic healthcare records of adults with pancreatic cancer, based in England, were analyzed. All participants were diagnosed between January 1, 2015, and September 30, 2022.
Importantly, it was observed that even two and a half years into the pandemic, pre-pancreatic cancer diagnosis testing did not recover to pre-pandemic levels. Nevertheless, those who were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer received proper care. Unlike other types of cancer, such as breast, kidney, and colorectal, the current study observed that the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and diabetes was not significantly affected. This is because the diagnosis of both these diseases does not depend on screening programs and diagnostic services in primary care.
