If you have any questions about the impact of COVID-19 as a breast cancer patient, email us at cbcn@cbcn.ca


Research

A recent study has shown that a delay between diagnosis to surgical treatment does not lower the overall survival of women with early-stage breast cancer. Similarly, there was no survival decrease with operative delays among women with ER+ early-stage breast cancer who received neoadjuvant endocrine therapy.

While Ontario is the first province where individuals can report a COVID-19 diagnosis through the COVID Alert app, all Canadians are being encouraged to download the app. Canadians can also access a list of 'Locations where you may have been exposed to COVID-19' in order to be aware of high-risk places.
