Abstract

Malignant melanoma (MM) can have a high mortality if diagnosed late. Three waves of COVID-19 in 2020–21 led to periods of reduced healthcare provision in England. Although most cancer services were maintained, factors such as patient anxiety, staff and facility redeployment, and staff sickness delayed cancer diagnoses. We aimed to investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on MM diagnoses and stage at presentation in England
