The COVID-19 pandemic has a worldwide negative impact on healthcare systems. This study aims to determine how the diagnosis, clinicopathological features, and treatment approaches of patients with breast cancer (BC) diagnosed at ≥65 years old were affected during the pandemic. This survey has shown that patients, especially the elderly, had to postpone their BC health problems or delay their routine controls due to the risk of COVID-19 transmission, high mortality rates due to comorbidity, and restrictions.
