Abstract
Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic began, the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 on cancer biology remain unclear.
- SARS-CoV-2 infection may lead to lasting biological changes that could affect cancer progression.
- The relationship between COVID-19 and cancer recurrence is still under investigation.
- Disruptions in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment have been significant during the pandemic.
- Post-acute effects of COVID-19, known as Long COVID, are being studied for potential impacts on cancer.
