Experience of a Radiation Oncology Center Operating During the COVID-19 Outbreak 2020-04-10 .txt text/plain 1544 70 48 As the executive vice president of the Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center (SPHIC), a tertiary cancer treatment facility on the front line against the COVID-19 epidemic responsible for patient care and infection control, our experience and opinions might be helpful for colleagues in the United States as a reference. Anyone with a body temperature over 37.3 o C and pertinent contact/travel history is transferred to a fever clinic at a designated hospital (special clinics of major general hospitals established during the 2003 SARS epidemic to triage and treat patients with fever) to rule out COVID-19 infection. From a professional point of view, I do not think it is necessary to delay chemotherapy or radiation treatment for patients with cancer because of COVID-19, unless an infection is confirmed or highly suspected or there are other medical reasons. Except for head and neck cancer treatments, all patients are required to wear a surgical mask during transportation and radiation therapy. ./cache/cord-276438-nynri6my.txt ./txt/cord-276438-nynri6my.txt
