In the US, new cases of 6 major types of cancer—colorectal, female breast, lung, pancreas, prostate, and thyroid—fell relative to the number of expected diagnoses during early 2020, when many health care facilities limited preventive cancer screening to help control the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The decline in diagnoses was greatest for early-stage cases, according to the second installment of the Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, which included data from the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries.
