Many clinical acts are performances and we should think of that as a strength, not a weakness, writes Roger Kneebone
I think of medicine as a performing art, although to many people the word “performing” sounds suspect, almost insulting.

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting public health measures have had significant impacts on daily life, including shifts in health behaviours which contribute to weight gain and may increase subsequent risk of chronic diseases such as cancer. Using OncoSim, a web-based microsimulation tool, we estimated the future burden of cancer in Canada by incorporating data on unintentional weight gain among adults during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The largest estimated impacts were observed for endometrial, kidney and liver cancers among women, with potential impact fractions (PIF) of 2.87%, 1.67% and 1.30%, respectively. For men, the largest mean PIFs were observed for esophageal (2.48%), kidney (1.85%) and liver (1.47%) cancers. Changes in health behavior during the COVID-19 pande ....
