A recent study<\/a> shows that the number of lung cancer diagnoses has dropped over the past year. However, although this sounds like good news, researchers are saying that people who are at high risk for lung cancer<\/a> are putting off their screening tests. In some cases, hesitation about seeking preventive health services during the pandemic may ultimately lead to a diagnosis of more advanced lung cancer.<\/p>\n

\"Jennifer<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom delayed dental appointments . . . to\u00a0putting off our routine exams or tests, we have all faced the challenges of getting preventive care during the time of COVID-19,\u201d says Jennifer Burg, MD<\/a>, Thoracic Surgeon at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper.<\/p>\n

\u201cCancer experts rely on screening tests such as colonoscopies<\/a> [for colon cancer], mammograms [for breast cancer], and low-dose chest CT scans [for lung cancer]\u00a0to catch cancer early, often before any symptoms appear. The earlier we find a cancer, the better the chance of a cure and prolonged survival,\u201d says Dr. Burg. She adds, \u201cThis report is concerning because it shows that the number of new lung cancer diagnoses is 23% lower than expected this year, most likely because fewer people are getting screened for lung cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., but there have been improvements in lung cancer survival in the past few years, thanks to new treatment<\/a> options and the adoption of effective lung cancer screenings<\/a> (low-dose CT scans)\u00a0for people at high risk. Experts say that that by putting off screening, many people will go undiagnosed and untreated until their cancer has reached an advanced stage, when treatment options may be limited and outcomes are poorer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with all cancer screenings, the goal of lung cancer screening is to catch cancer early, before it spreads, because early diagnosis can make a huge difference in survival,\u201d says Dr. Burg. Patients who are between the ages of 55 and 74 and are current\u00a0smokers or have recently quit smoking\u00a0should talk to their doctor about undergoing lung cancer screening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of things we can\u2019t control during a pandemic, but one thing we can do is be proactive about our health.\u00a0Please work with your doctor to ensure that your cancer screening is completed on time, and do not delay seeking care for major health concerns,\u201d advises Dr. Burg.<\/p>\n

Cooper University Health Care and MD Anderson at Cooper are taking the utmost precautions to mitigate the risk of exposure to COVID-19 while providing patients with complete care.<\/p>\n

La Investigaci\u00f3n Muestra una Disminuci\u00f3n en los Diagn\u00f3sticos de C\u00e1ncer de Pulm\u00f3n durante el COVID, pero esto no es una Buena Noticia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Un estudio reciente<\/u><\/a> muestra que el n\u00famero de diagn\u00f3sticos de c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n ha disminuido en el \u00faltimo a\u00f1o. Sin embargo, aunque esto suena como una buena noticia, los investigadores dicen que las personas que est\u00e1n en alto riesgo de c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n est\u00e1n posponiendo sus pruebas de detecci\u00f3n. En algunos casos, la vacilaci\u00f3n sobre la b\u00fasqueda de servicios de salud preventivos durante la pandemia puede conducir en \u00faltima instancia a un diagn\u00f3stico de c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n m\u00e1s avanzado.<\/p>\n

“De citas dentales retrasadas . . . para posponer nuestros ex\u00e1menes o pruebas de rutina, todos nos hemos enfrentado a los desaf\u00edos de recibir atenci\u00f3n preventiva durante el tiempo de COVID-19”, dice Jennifer Burg, MD<\/a>,<\/u> Cirujana Tor\u00e1cica del MD Anderson Cancer Center en Cooper.<\/p>\n

“Los expertos en c\u00e1ncer se basan en pruebas de detecci\u00f3n como colonoscopias [para el c\u00e1ncer de colon], mamograf\u00edas [para el c\u00e1ncer de mama] y tomograf\u00edas computarizadas tor\u00e1cicas en dosis bajas [para el c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n] para detectar c\u00e1ncer a tiempo, a menudo antes de que aparezcan s\u00edntomas. Cuanto antes encontremos un c\u00e1ncer, mejor ser\u00e1 la posibilidad de una cura y una supervivencia prolongada”, dice el Dr. Burg. y a\u00f1ade: “Este informe es preocupante porque muestra que el n\u00famero de nuevos diagn\u00f3sticos de c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n es un 23% menor de lo esperado este a\u00f1o, probablemente porque menos personas est\u00e1n siendo examinadas para detectar c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n”.<\/p>\n

El c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n es la principal causa de muerte por c\u00e1ncer en los Estados Unidos, pero ha habido mejoras en la supervivencia del c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, gracias a las nuevas opciones de tratamiento y la adopci\u00f3n de ex\u00e1menes de detecci\u00f3n<\/u><\/a> eficaces del c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n (tomograf\u00edas computarizadas en dosis bajas) para personas con alto riesgo. Los expertos dicen que, al posponer la detecci\u00f3n, muchas personas pasar\u00e1n de diagnosticadas y sin tratamiento hasta que su c\u00e1ncer haya llegado a una etapa avanzada, cuando las opciones de tratamiento pueden ser limitadas y los resultados son m\u00e1s pobres.<\/p>\n

“Al igual que con todas las pruebas de detecci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer, el objetivo de la detecci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n es detectar el c\u00e1ncer a tiempo, antes de que se propague, porque el diagn\u00f3stico precoz puede hacer una gran diferencia en la supervivencia”, dice la Dra. Burg. Los pacientes que tienen entre 55 y 74 a\u00f1os y son fumadores actuales o han dejado de fumar recientemente deben hablar con su m\u00e9dico sobre la detecci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

“Hay muchas cosas que no podemos controlar durante una pandemia, pero una cosa que podemos hacer es ser proactivos sobre nuestra salud. Por favor, trabaje con su m\u00e9dico para asegurarse de que su detecci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer se complete a tiempo, y no retrase la b\u00fasqueda de atenci\u00f3n para problemas de salud importantes”, aconseja la Dra. Burg.<\/p>\n

Cooper University Health Care y MD Anderson en Cooper est\u00e1n tomando las m\u00e1ximas precauciones para mitigar el riesgo de exposici\u00f3n al COVID-19 mientras proporcionan a los pacientes atenci\u00f3n completa.<\/p>\n
