This international multidisciplinary group of experts in HGG provides a risk-adapted framework for decisions in both pandemic scenarios, considering both ethical issues and resource constraints, in order to minimize the irreparable damage associated with withholding necessary treatments. We recognize that during the pandemic the challenges of ICU capacity, conservation of PPE, availability of health care professional expertise and the risk for patients' exposure to SARS-CoV-2 may reduce the ability to provide optimal surgical management. Patients and caregivers should be included in the decision-making process as much as possible, and this should include all relevant data on chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as the individual risk profile associated with a potential SARS-CoV-2 infection. ./cache/cord-299449-226dd23u.txt ./txt/cord-299449-226dd23u.txt
