Impact of delay in follow‐up due to COVID‐19 pandemic on skin cancer progression: a real‐life experience from an Italian hub hospital

Abstract

These results confirm that delay in follow-up and, consequently, postponed surgical excisions are related to an increased incidence of advanced skin tumors, resulting in poorer prognosis lifelong. Follow-up visits should be carried on even during COVID-19 pandemic, avoiding significant delays as much as possible.
