One clear change meant minimising the number of patient visits to the clinic – instead, physicians, nurses and patients met via telephone or video call. A cancer diagnosis often entails many hospital visits and intensive treatments that can be very tiring for the patient. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, cancer patients were identified as an at-risk group, so forms of treatment
