Abstract
During COVID-19, income for some employees was less, some lost jobs, some lost insurance coverage, and had decreased access to hospitals/doctors. These negatively impacted them with less ability to obtain timely screening or diagnosis of cancer [32]. For instance, Schafer et al. [34] pointed out that COVID-19 disrupted health care and caused a decline in almost all cancer diagnoses. The principal goal of our research was to assess the impact of COVID-19 on top-10 cancer incidences.
