The Aiom Foundation has conducted an investigation into the psychosocial consequences that especially the first wave of the pandemic had on cancer patients. 60% reported feeling very safe in their cancer facility. However, 56.5% expressed concern that their medical staff could get Covid and reported fear of stopping cancer treatment. And, precisely because of the fear, 34% said they had contacted their doctor more frequently than in the past or had canceled visits with the oncologist (13%).
