Patients with chronic health needs, including those with cancer, and their providers face numerous challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey results from 356 health care centers across 54 countries indicate that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer care is widespread.

Respondents also reported potential patient harm due to interruptions in cancer-specific and non-cancer care.
