Efforts to reopen the economy aren’t just about restaurants, beaches, gyms and hair salons. The federal government’s recent decision to relax restrictions on “non-essential” medical procedures means patients can once again have the outpatient surgeries, cancer screenings and other care postponed since the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown. For cancer patients, the renewed access comes none too soon—amid multiple studies that have found the pandemic has led to delays in cancer treatment, screening, even clinical trials. Pat Basu, MD, President & CEO of Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), and his guest, Julian Schink, MD, Chief Medical Officer at CTCA®, discuss what the Opening Up America initiative means for cancer patients on the debut episode of the Focus On Cancer podcast.
