We collected data for 32 583 patients with breast cancer, 24 975 with colorectal cancer, 6744 with oesophageal cancer, and 29 305 with lung cancer. Across the three different scenarios, compared with pre-pandemic figures, we estimate a 7·99·6% increase in the number of deaths due to breast cancer up to year 5 after diagnosis, corresponding to between 281 (95% CI 266295) and 344 (329358) additional deaths. For colorectal cancer, we estimate 1445 (13921591) to 1563 (15341592) additional deaths, a 15·316·6% increase; for lung cancer, 1235 (12201254) to 1372 (13431401) additional deaths, a 4·85·3% increase; and for oesophageal cancer, 330 (324335) to 342 (336348) additional deaths, 5·86·0% increase up to 5 years after diagnosis. For these four tumour types, these data correspond with 32913621 additional deaths across the scenarios within 5 years. The total additional YLLs across these cancers is estimated to be 59 20463 229 years.
that was the english estimate over a year ago.
