Cancer centers throughout the U.S. are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. This work includes developing new protocols and guidelines on providing treatment to cancer patients. Special protocols are also being put in place for patients in clinical trials.
MTT was created as a place for women and men with metastatic breast cancer to obtain information from trusted sources. We have created new pages of MTT that will lead you to trusted information about COVID-19 that is especially relevant to women and men with breast cancer. We will be updating these pages regularly. If you see important information you believe we should share with the breast cancer community, please email us at Help-Desk@bctrials.org
As a community, we will get through this together.
