Author ProfileAbstract
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.24 Dec 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 24 Jan 2022Submission Checks Completed
