Abstract

The effects of COVID-19 on cancer are substantial, highlighting both novel and existing challenges for health-care systems. We were therefore encouraged to see The Lancet Oncology's call for cancer care to be safeguarded in a postCOVID-19 world.1 We endorse this position for cancer surgery specifically, and propose several recommendations aiming to reduce the so-called collateral damage of COVID-19. The International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership (ICBP) is a global collaboration seeking to compare and improve cancer survival across high income countries.2 Within the ICBP, we came together to provide a voice for the international cancer surgery community.
