The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging modern radiation oncology. At University Hospitals, we have a mandate to offer high-end treatments to all cancer patients. However, in times of crisis we must learn to prioritize resources, especially personnel. Compromising oncological outcome will blur all statistics, therefore all measures must be taken with great caution. Communication with our neighboring countries, within societies and between departments can help meet the challenge. Here, we report on our learning system and preparation measures to effectively tackle the COVID-19 challenge in University-Based Radiation Oncology Departments.
新冠疫情对现代放射肿瘤学提出了挑战。在大学医院，我们的任务是为所有癌症患者提供高端治疗。然而，在危机时期，我们必须学会优先分配资源，尤其是人员。牺牲肿瘤学治疗效果会使所有数据变得模糊，因此必须非常谨慎地采取所有措施。与邻国、社会内部以及各部门之间的沟通有助于应对这一挑战。在这里，我们报告了我们的学习系统和准备措施，以有效地应对大学放射肿瘤学部门的新冠疫情挑战。
