About
This resource focuses on the interplay between the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 (identified by ICD-10 U07.1) and specific cancer types within the largest cities of the São Paulo Metropolitan Area, Brazil. The data allows for the study of the indirect effects of the coronavirus on lung cancer (ICD-10 C34) and blood cancers, specifically Lymphoid Leukemia (ICD-10 C91) and Myeloid Leukemia (ICD-10 C92). Lung cancer is noted as a leading global cause of death, a concern that may be exacerbated by the pandemic, while blood cancers are examined due to potential immune system changes. This information is critical for aiding healthcare decisions during the public health emergency and informs strategies for prevention and treatment by identifying specific impacts on these malignancies.
