Increasing awareness is needed on the combined impacts of disasters on breast cancer management.

We experienced an advanced breast cancer patient who failed to receive diagnostic imaging despite regular video conferences with her physician during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in delayed liver metastasis detection. Recognizing shortcomings of telemedicine and collaboration among medical institutions for uninterrupted cancer care is imperative during the pandemic.
