Non-melanoma skin cancer and COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related hospital crisis caused health care saturation, and proper attention to patients with special needs was interrupted for more than a year. For patients with NMSC, and even for all types of cancer, a delay in diagnosis and treatments was common. In addition, cancer patients have an increased risk for COVID-19 complications due to immunosuppressive states, mainly caused by debilitating therapies, and the disease itself. This challenging situation may signify an opportunity to develop new strategies to treat patients and overcome current health conditions.
