Examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on invasive breast cancer incidence in Ireland: A population-based study
Background
This study aimed to investigate the COVID-19 impact on invasive breast cancer incidence and one-year survival in Ireland.
Methods
Anonymised aggregate population data from the National Cancer Registry Ireland were used to examine incidence between 2014 and 2020 and differences in the distribution of clinical characteristics using chi-squared tests. Negative binomial regression examined the association between incidence and year of diagnosis. One-year survival was examined by year of diagnosis using Cox proportional hazards regression modelling.
Results
For 2020, the age-standardised incidence rate (ASR, per 100,000 females) was 131.9, compared to 163.9 for 2019. In 2020, the incidence rate significantly declined (IRR = 0.41, 95 % CI = 0.22, 0.75) relative to 2019. Fewer cases presented through organised screening (-62.3 %), while similar or increased numbers presented with symptoms (0.1 %) and via other methods (9.0 %) respectively in 2020, compared to 2019. Significant differences were observed in case distribution by ER status (p = 0.02) and stage (p < 0.01) between 2019 and 2020. One-year survival was similar for cases diagnosed during 2014–2019 and in 2020 (HR = 1.07, 95 % CI = 0.89, 1.27).
Conclusions
These findings demonstrate reductions in invasive breast cancer incidence and no difference in one-year survival following the pandemic onset. Additional studies to determine the longer-term COVID-19 impact are needed.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Epidemiology is dedicated to increasing understanding about cancer causes, prevention and control. The scope of the journal embraces all aspects of cancer epidemiology including:
• Descriptive epidemiology
• Studies of risk factors for disease initiation, development and prognosis
• Screening and early detection
• Prevention and control
• Methodological issues
The journal publishes original research articles (full length and short reports), systematic reviews and meta-analyses, editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor commenting on previously published research.
