加沙地带乳腺癌筛查和早期诊断服务的崩溃掩盖了该疾病的真实规模，卫生部于周四表示，据信有数百个病例未被确诊。
The collapse of breast cancer screening and early diagnosis services in the Gaza Strip is concealing the true scale of the disease, with hundreds of cases believed to be undiagnosed, the Health Ministry said Thursday.
该部门在标志着旨在早期发现和支持患者的全球乳腺癌宣传月“粉红十月”开始的一份声明中发出了这一警告。
It issued the warning in a statement marking the start of “Pink October,” the global breast cancer awareness month dedicated to early detection and support for patients.
声明称，在失去最基本医疗护理和治疗需求的情况下，加沙的乳腺癌女性患者正在经历“灾难性的健康与人道主义现实”。
Women with breast cancer in Gaza are living through a “catastrophic health and humanitarian reality” amid the loss of even the most basic requirements for medical care and treatment, according to the statement.
声明还补充说，由于严重短缺、乳腺X光机屡次发生故障以及缺乏实验室试剂和医疗物资，筛查和早期诊断服务已经变得“极其有限且几乎暂停”。声明表示，这种情况剥夺了女性获得早期发现的机会。
Screening and early diagnosis services have become “extremely limited and virtually suspended,” it added, citing severe shortages and repeated breakdowns of mammography machines as well as the lack of laboratory reagents and medical supplies. It said the situation is depriving women of opportunities for early detection.
乳腺癌患者的治疗系统正遭受“近乎完全缺乏获批治疗方案”的困苦。声明称，肿瘤科缺乏化疗药物、激素疗法和靶向治疗，而加沙境内完全无法提供放射治疗服务。
The treatment system for breast cancer patients is suffering from a “near-total absence of approved treatment protocols.”It said oncology departments lack chemotherapy drugs, hormonal treatments and targeted therapies, while radiotherapy services are completely unavailable inside Gaza.
声明还表示，由于缺乏专业医疗能力，切除晚期肿瘤的手术也已停止。
Operations to remove advanced tumors have also stopped because of the lack of specialized medical capabilities, it said.
根据该卫生部的说法，在以色列于2023年末开始种族灭绝之前，该飞地每年记录360起新的乳腺癌病例。
Before Israel’s genocide began in late 2023, the enclave recorded 360 new breast cancer cases annually, according to the ministry.
声明称，2024年确诊了250例，2025年约为260例，而根据战前的发病率，在约三年时间里本应预期有1000多起新病例。
It said 250 cases were diagnosed in 2024 and around 260 in 2025, while based on the pre-war rate, more than 1,000 new cases would have been expected over roughly three years.
声明指出：“我们今天面临的最危险的事情，不仅是被确诊的患者人数，还有那些可能患病却未能得到早期发现的女性人数。”
“The most dangerous thing we face today is not only the number of patients who are diagnosed, but the number of women who may have the disease without it being detected early,” it said.
声明还指出，癌症患者的痛苦因出行限制以及过境通道的关闭而加剧；这些限制导致数百名急需治疗的患者无法前往加沙地带以外的专业肿瘤治疗中心。
It added that the suffering of cancer patients is being compounded by movement restrictions and the closure of crossings, which prevent hundreds of urgent cases from traveling to specialized oncology centers outside Gaza.
声明称：“‘加沙的‘粉红十月’活动不仅仅是一场提高公众意识的宣传活动，更是一声人道主义求救信号——旨在拯救那些在缺乏基本医疗条件的情况下与死亡抗争的患者的生命。”
“Pink October from Gaza is not merely an awareness campaign, but a humanitarian distress call to save the lives of patients struggling against death amid the absence of basic treatment requirements,” it said.
自2023年10月以来，加沙的医疗系统遭受了严重破坏：许多医院和医疗设施被毁或无法正常运作，药品、医疗物资和燃料的短缺严重限制了医疗服务的提供，尤其是对癌症患者和慢性病患者的治疗。
Gaza’s health system has suffered severe damage since October 2023, with hospitals and medical facilities destroyed or rendered inoperable and shortages of medicines, medical supplies and fuel severely limiting care, particularly for cancer and chronic disease patients.
自2023年10月以来，以色列在加沙地区已造成超过7.4万名巴勒斯坦人死亡、17.5万人受伤。
More than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 175,000 injured in Gaza by Israel since October 2023.
