COVID-19疫情以前所未有的方式影响医疗保健系统。我们回顾了向密西西比儿童癌症和血液疾病中心就诊的新癌症患者的登记，显示新儿科癌症诊断的平均人数在COVID-19最初的几个月内下降，并在2020年6月显著上升。我们必须鼓励家庭在需要时寻求医疗保健，并定期预约常规疫苗接种和健康维护，因为我们知道，拖延健康维护的长期后果远远超过目前的风险。
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the health care system in unprecedented ways. We reviewed the registry of new cancer patients who presented to the Children's of Mississippi Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders and showed the average number of new pediatric cancer diagnoses dropped during the initial COVID-19 months and rose significantly in June 2020. We must encourage families to seek health care when needed and keep scheduled appointments for routine vaccinations and health maintenance as we know the long-term sequela of delaying health maintenance far outweighs risks at present.
