Though the COVID-19 pandemic has created a lot of uncertainty, Mayo Clinic remains a place for hope and healing. And as always, we're delivering the care you need.
If you have a medical condition or concern, do not delay in seeking out treatment or medical advice, especially if it's related to cancer. Mayo Clinic is taking precautions to ensure safe care during the pandemic, and we continue to welcome both new and existing patients for virtual and in-person care, including elective surgeries, in adherence with federal and state executive orders and guidance.
Don't delay cancer screening
The earlier cancer is detected, the better chances for successful treatment. Unfortunately, cancer doesn't rest during a pandemic. Recent research suggests that nearly 34,000 Americans will die of cancer because they delayed screening during the COVID-19 pandemic, making their cancers more difficult to treat when discovered. If you receive a recommendation for cancer screening or have questions about treatment, don't delay. Some appointments can be done virtually. Ask your physician for details, and stay on top of your cancer screening and treatment. Learn more about cancer treatment at Mayo Clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic.
