Description

Public Health Scotland (PHS) and Macmillan Cancer Support are working together to use data to improve the understanding of the impacts of cancer and its treatment on the cancer population.

This project aimed to understand the impact of COVID-19 on the pathological confirmation of cancer through looking at trends over time, particularly any changes during early COVID-19 restrictions and how long these lasted before returning to pre-COVID-19 levels.
