Cancer patients are at particular risk of adverse consequences from delays in diagnosis and treatment. To evaluate the available data on the impact of the pandemic on cancer diagnoses, oncological care and patient well-being in Germany, the German Society for Epidemiology (DGEpi) in collaboration with the Epidemiological Cancer Registry of Lower Saxony invited to a workshop on 'COVID & Cancer' (held on 26-27 October 2023 in Hanover, Germany). This report provides a summary of the scientific presentations, highlights methodological challenges, and recognises essential evidence gaps.Twelve studies addressing various aspects in relation to cancer diagnoses, oncological care and patient well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany and two talks sharing experiences from the UK and the Netherlands were presented at the workshop.Results from German cancer registries consistently showed lower number of incident cancer diagnoses among adults during the first months of the pandemic compared to the respective months of the years before the pandemic. Data from the cancer registries of Baden-Württemberg and Lower Saxony found especially for breast cancer a notable drop (by approximately one third) in the numbers of diagnoses during the first restriction period (April-May 2020), during which the nationwide mammography screening programme in Germany was temporarily suspended. Overall, the extent and ways, in which the pandemic had adversely affected cancer diagnoses, oncological care and created service backlogs, is still not adequately understood. The long-term consequences are yet to be determined. 000294661 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-313$$a313 - Krebsrisikofaktoren und Prävention (POF4-313)$$cPOF4-313$$fPOF IV$$x0 000294661 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: inrepo02.dkfz.de 000294661 650_7 $$2Other$$aAdverse consequences 000294661 650_7 $$2Other$$aCOVID-19 pandemic 000294661 650_7 $$2Other$$aCancer care 000294661 650_7 $$2Other$$aDelayed diagnosis 000294661 650_7 $$2Other$$aGermany 000294661 650_7 $$2Other$$aIncidence 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHumans 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCOVID-19: epidemiology 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aGermany: epidemiology 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aNeoplasms: epidemiology 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aNeoplasms: diagnosis 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aNeoplasms: therapy 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aRegistries 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aSARS-CoV-2 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMedical Oncology: methods 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aPandemics 000294661 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aFemale 000294661 7001_ $$aWellbrock, Maike$$b1 000294661 7001_ $$aDe Santis, Karina Karolina$$b2 000294661 7001_ $$aHübner, Joachim$$b3 000294661 7001_ $$aVoigtländer, Sven$$b4 000294661 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)d023fdf423d87ee6c710e34dd7581fa0$$aArndt, Volker$$b5$$eLast author$$udkfz 000294661 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1459285-X$$a10.1007/s00432-024-06019-3$$gVol. 150, no. 11, p. 491$$n11$$p491$$tJournal of cancer research and clinical oncology$$v150$$x0301-1585$$y2024 000294661 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:294661$$pVDB 000294661 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)d023fdf423d87ee6c710e34dd7581fa0$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b5$$kDKFZ 000294661 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-313$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vKrebsrisikofaktoren und Prävention$$x0 000294661 9141_ $$y2024 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)3002$$2StatID$$aDEAL Springer$$d2023-10-21$$wger 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)3002$$2StatID$$aDEAL Springer$$d2023-10-21$$wger 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1190$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBiological Abstracts$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bJ CANCER RES CLIN : 2022$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC$$d2023-10-21 000294661 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5$$d2023-10-21 000294661 9202_ $$0I:(DE-He78)C071-20160331$$kC071$$lC071 Cancer Survivorship$$x0 000294661 9202_ $$0I:(DE-He78)M110-20160331$$kM110$$lM110 Epidemiologisches Krebsregister BW$$x1 000294661 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)C071-20160331$$kC071$$lC071 Cancer Survivorship$$x0 000294661 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)M110-20160331$$kM110$$lM110 Epidemiologisches Krebsregister BW$$x1 000294661 980__ $$ajournal 000294661 980__ $$aVDB 000294661 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)C071-20160331 000294661 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)M110-20160331 000294661 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
