Abstract Little is known on how different types of disasters interact in their impacts on patient care. We experienced a breast cancer patient whose initial presentation was delayed for 2 years due to the COVID‐19 pandemic and Typhoon Hagibis. Increasing awareness is needed on the combined impacts of disasters on breast cancer management.
