COVID-19 Breast Cancer Care During the Pandemic

“We are very worried about patients who are at risk for breast cancer, melanoma or any other cancer delaying their checkups,” Jacobs says. “Canceling or postponing your recommended testing can result in missed cancer diagnoses and worsening of conditions that call for prompt treatment.”

  • Advanced, Personalized Treatment

    Our main goal is to decipher the mechanisms of cancer and find better ways to treat it. Conducting basic laboratory science and clinical trials puts us closer to this goal, which will allow us to provide a more individualized road map for managing each patient’s breast cancer.

  • Expert, Collaborative Care

    Choose Johns Hopkins to gain access to the expertise of multiple medical professionals working together to create the best treatment plan for you—one based on evidence-based treatment standards, many of which have been pioneered by clinician-scientists here at Johns Hopkins.

  • Coordinated Support Services

    Becoming a patient in our program means more than expert medical treatment. From cosmetic procedures that help you feel whole again to support groups whose members relate to your circumstances, the breadth and significance of our support services cannot be underestimated.
