Breast cancer is the most common type in women, after non-melanoma skin cancer, and has several risk factors, such as female sex, family history, obesity, genetic mutation, among others. Early detection is crucial to successful treatment. Annual mammography is recommended for women aged 40 and over, according to the Brazilian Society of Mastology, and women aged 50 and over according to the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Correct tumor staging is essential to determine the prognosis and appropriate treatment. The analysis of several factors helps to define the best treatment for each patient. This work presents a case report of a patient with non-special type invasive breast carcinoma, where the preoperative clinical staging was T2 N0 M0. After mastectomy surgery, the patient remained on adjuvant hormone therapy. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted and placed an unprecedented burden on the healthcare system worldwide, causing all medical resources dedicated to containment and disease tracking to be compromised. For this reason, many women stopped being screened for breast cancer, including the patient in the reported case. Although there are no grounded theoretical references addressing this very recent issue, this case report attempts to collaborate so that there can be more research on this topic: the failure to screen for breast cancer during the COVID-19 period.
