Maintaining breast cancer care in the face of COVID‐19 2020-08-24 .txt text/plain 1480 99 42 The authors have prepared succinct recommendations regarding the care of patients with breast cancer, divided into phases that can easily be adapted to each units' needs and resources, and stepped up or stepped down according to escalating and de‐escalating circumstances. The operational recommendations of the unit were developed after reviewing available guidelines 1-4 with the following priorities: patient safety and oncological outcomes; staff safety; and rationing of resources, prioritizing timely detection of cancers whose delayed diagnosis could significantly affect patient prognosis and survival. Patients with higher perioperative risks that potentially necessitate high-dependency or intensive care should be deferred to NACT/NAET if possible, as these are the most valuable resources for treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
