Impact of the Coronavirus disease pandemic on early breast cancer
We observed a shift to advanced-stage and a change of treatment modalities of early breast cancer in 2020. The OS of patients with breast cancer was worse during the pandemic than before the pandemic. The findings could provide empirical basis for optimizing cancer prevention and control strategies in future public health emergencies.
