'The drop-off was severe.' Cancer screenings declined sharply during the pandemic

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

As a result, a collaboration between the non-profits CancerCare and the Community Oncology Alliance is pushing people to make sure they go and get screened. We wanted to talk about the Time to Screen initiative, so we caught up with Dr. James Perry, Chief Medical Officer for Alliance Cancer Specialists in Pennsylvania.Find out more information at: https://timetoscreen.org/
