Control (UICC) decided not to hold a virtual congress during the COVID-19 pandemic, for many attendees this was the first opportunity to reconnect since WCC 2018. Many presentations at WCC

2022 provided quantitative data demonstrating that the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the ability of most health-care systems to provide adequate cancer management at every stage of the

disease. Well-documented examples include prevention (owing to disruption of HPV vaccination programmes), screening (with delays in several colorectal and lung national programmes) and

diagnosis (with a confirmed shift towards presentation at later disease stages for several cancer types). Other studies modelled the capacity of oncology services to adapt after the

pandemic. The main message is that recovery could be possible, at least to a certain extent, if all stakeholders are committed. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your
