Cancer diagnoses have decreased since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, concerns focus on the impact to patient healthcare and the health system. During the pandemic, more home treatments have become available, and the MCRI has developed a program for some young patients with cancer to avoid hospital. A study in Poland has revealed the effect of the pandemic on quality-of-life for patients with cancer. It is becoming increasingly crucial to develop new ways of identifying patient distress to enable high-quality cancer management and supportive care. The Australian Government announced $9.9M in funding for research into improving life for brain cancer survivors. Researchers from the University of Melbourne have gained NHMRC grants to develop four approaches for improving early detection of colorectal cancer.
