Description

How are community oncologists adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic? Podcast host David H. Henry, MD, of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, explores this question with Matthew Lonergan, MD, of Willamette Valley Cancer Institute (WVCI) and Research Center in Eugene, Ore. Dr. Lonergan explains how WVCI is attempting to minimize staff exposure to COVID-19, how physicians there are dealing with the transition to telemedicine, and how a lack of resources has affected WVCI. Dr. Lonergan and Dr. Henry also discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed research, tumor boards, and other meetings. And the pair compare the response to the current pandemic with the response to HIV and the Spanish flu.
