Figure 1. — Weekly cancer surgical volume and the proportion of hospitalizations related to COVID-19 in Ontario, Canada, during January 7, 2018, to August 28, 2021. COVID-19–related hospitalizations included patients who were admitted to hospital because of a laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis as the most responsible diagnosis and those who got infected with COVID-19 during the hospital stay. During the week of November 8-14, 2020 (ie, week 35 since the start of the first wave of COVID-19), cancer surgical volume has returned to prepandemic levels. As of August 28, 2021, there was a surgical backlog of 66 376 missed cases.
