Gaza's breast cancer patients face life-threatening delays as radiotherapy becomes unavailable and medical evacuations remain restricted, Middle East Eye reported. Thousands of Palestinian women cannot access treatment needed to slow disease progression, with oncologists unable to provide standard care protocols.
The collapse of medical infrastructure has forced patients to forgo chemotherapy follow-up care and surgical intervention. Women already diagnosed before the crisis cannot complete their treatment courses, while new cases go undiagnosed due to the breakdown of screening and diagnostic services.
