ONCOLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS AFTER COVID-19: MODERN VIEWS, PATHOGENETIC MECHANISMS, AND CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global healthcare systems and raised concerns about long-term oncological consequences. This study analyzes post-COVID oncological complications, focusing on molecular and immunological mechanisms. Chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, and epigenetic alterations are identified as major contributors to carcinogenesis. Additionally, delays in diagnosis and treatment during the pandemic have worsened cancer outcomes.
