❦ ‘Dr. Kashyap Patel (MD), CEO of Carolina Blood & Cancer Care Associates, sees something different in his practice since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic – not just with cancer care, but with cancer itself.


— “The trend is getting more and more alarming. We are noticing trends in hematological malignancies, breast cancer, colorectal carcinoma and pancreatic cancer.”
