abstract = {IntroductionThe COVID-19 epidemic interrupted normal cancer diagnosis procedures. Population-basedcancer registriesreport incidence at least 18 months after it happens. Our goal was to make more timely estimates by using pathologically confirmed cancers (PDC) as a proxy for incidence. We compared the 2020 and 2021 PDC with the 2019 pre-pandemic baseline in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland (NI).},
