Cancer-related deaths over the next decade are expected to increase due to cancer screening deficits associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. While national deficits have been quantified, structured response to identifying and addressing local deficits has not been widely available. Our objectives are to share preliminary data on monthly screening deficits in breast, colorectal, lung, and cervical cancers across diverse settings and provide online materials from a national quality improvement (QI) study to help other institutions address local screening deficits. This prospective national QI study on Return-to-Screening enrolled 748 accredited cancer programs in the US from April through June 2021. Local pre-pandemic and during-pandemic monthly screening test volumes (MTV) were used to calculate relative percent change in MTV to describe monthly screening gap. The majority of facilities reported monthly screening deficits (colorectal, 80.6% (n=104/129); cervical, 69.0% (n=20/29); breast, 55.3% (n=241/436); lung, 44.6% (n=98/220)). Overall, the median relative percent change in MTV ranged from −17.7% (IQR, −33.6% to −2.8%) in colorectal, −6.8% (IQR, −29.4% to 1.7%) in cervical, −1.6% (IQR, −9.6% to 7.0%) in breast, and 1.2% (IQR, −16.9% to 19.0%) in lung. Geographic differences were not observed. There was statistically significant differences in percent change in MTV between institution types for colorectal cancer screening (p=.02). Cancer screening is still in need of urgent attention and the screening resources made available online may help facilities close critical gaps and address 2020 missed screenings. A national Return-to-Screening quality improvement study including 748 cancer facilities found that the majority have local screening deficits due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most notably in colorectal cancer. Cancer screening is still in need of urgent attention and the screening resources made available online may help close critical gaps and address 2020 missed screenings.
