The COVID-19 pandemic led to disruption of health services around the world, including cancer services. We carried out a narrative review of the effect of the pandemic on cancer prevention services, including screening. Services were severely affected in the early months of the pandemic, and in some areas are still recovering. Large numbers of additional cancers or additional late-stage cancers have been predicted to arise over the coming years as a result of this disruption. To minimize the effects on cancer outcomes, it is necessary to return as quickly as possible to prepandemic levels of screening and prevention activity or indeed to exceed these levels. The recovery of services should address health inequalities.

COVID-19 大流行对癌症预防的影响

COVID-19 大流行导致世界各地的卫生服务中断，包括癌症服务。我们对大流行对癌症预防服务（包括筛查）的影响进行了叙述性回顾。疫情爆发的最初几个月，服务受到严重影响，但一些地区仍在恢复中。由于这种破坏，预计未来几年将出现大量其他癌症或其他晚期癌症。为了尽量减少对癌症结果的影响，有必要尽快将筛查和预防活动恢复到大流行前的水平，甚至超过这些水平。服务的恢复应解决健康不平等问题。
