Coronavirus: Advice for cancer patients
The success of the COVID-19 vaccination programme has meant that the requirement for shielding and identifying people as clinically extremely vulnerable is no longer necessary. However, COVID-19 has not gone away. We still need to follow Government advice to keep ourselves and others safe.
To understand and explore the true impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on kidney cancer patients, Bristol Myers Squibb hosted a patient workshop in partnership with Action Kidney Cancer. During the workshop, patients shared their experiences of how they had felt during the pandemic and how their cancer journey had been impacted.
Action Kidney Cancer also shared how they had been impacted by the pandemic and detailed the services they provided to patients in their time of need. Participants highlighted the inequalities that may have been made worse in kidney cancer by the COVID-19 pandemic, while highlighting new and additional barriers to optimal care.
We are delighted to share with you this report titled ‘Mitigating the impact of the pandemic: a lens on kidney cancer and support groups’:
