COVID-19: Information for Breast Cancer Patients

Elisa R. Port, MD, FACS, offers reassuring advice for women diagnosed with breast cancer during the COVID-19 crisis. She outlines various treatment options, and the need in each individual case to balance the risk of infection from COVID-19 with the risk that the cancer will progress. She also urges women who discover a lump in their breast not to wait to be evaluated—while routine appointments have been put on hold, we are still here to serve women who feel they may be at risk.
