Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of Americans delayed medical appointments, causing a major decline in cancer screenings, diagnosis and treatment. The Community Oncology Alliance states that in 2020 there was an 85 percent decline in breast cancer screenings and a 75 percent decline in colon cancer screenings.
