Abstract
The Coronavirus pandemic has created unprecedented strain on medical resources at health care institutions around the world. At many institutions, this has resulted in efforts to prioritize cases with an attempt to balance the acuity of medical needs with available resources. Here, we provide a framework for institutions and governments to help adjudicate treatment allocations to patients with neuro-oncologic disease.
KEYWORDS:
Acoustic neuroma; Brain metastasis; COVID19; Coronavirus; Endoscopic endonasal; Glioblastoma; Glioma; Meningioma; Neuro-oncology; Neurosurgery; SARS-CoV-2; Skull base
