Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant challenges in breast cancer care including healthcare inequities, limited access to surgeries, and difficulties in delivering virtual care. This letter builds upon the findings from the article "The Impact of COVID-19 on Breast Cancer Care" and proposes innovative solutions to address these challenges. Key suggestions include the use of AI-powered digital platforms for remote monitoring, robotic-assisted surgery for enhanced precision, mobile health applications for marginalized populations, and 3D printing for personalized breast reconstruction. Additionally, wearable health devices, nanotechnology for targeted drug delivery, and blockchain for secure medical data sharing are proposed to further improve the future of breast cancer care. These innovations offer practical approaches to overcoming the obstacles highlighted during the pandemic and aim to create a more equitable and efficient healthcare system.
COVID-19 大流行暴露了乳腺癌护理面临的重大挑战，包括医疗保健不公平、手术机会有限以及提供虚拟护理的困难。这封信以《COVID-19 对乳腺癌护理的影响》一文的研究结果为基础，提出了应对这些挑战的创新解决方案。主要建议包括使用人工智能驱动的数字平台进行远程监控、使用机器人辅助手术提高精准度、为边缘化人群提供移动医疗应用，以及使用 3D 打印技术进行个性化乳房重建。此外，还提出了可穿戴健康设备、用于靶向给药的纳米技术以及用于安全医疗数据共享的区块链，以进一步改善乳腺癌护理的未来。这些创新提供了切实可行的方法，以克服大流行病期间凸显的障碍，并旨在创建一个更加公平和高效的医疗保健系统。
