Abstrakt: Screening for COVID-19 exposure, coupled with engaged decision making to prioritize cancer treatment in parallel with reducing risk of exposure and infection, is crucial in the management of COVID-19 during cancer treatment. Following two reported case studies of imaging findings during daily computed tomography (CT) -based image guided radiotherapy scans, a call for submission of anonymized case reports was published with the objective of rapidly determining if there was a correlation between the onset of new pulmonary infiltrates seen during radiotherapy and COVID-19. We hereby report the results of the aggregate analysis.
