Abstract

We experienced the case of a patient with advanced breast cancer who failed to receive comprehensive care despite regular video conferencing with her physician during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in delayed detection of liver metastasis. Inter-hospital collaboration is required to provide uninterrupted cancer care to those disproportionately affected by crises.
