There are safe ways to conduct radiation therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you are uncertain about your treatment options, contact your radiation oncology team to get the best advice.
It is important that patients continue their treatments, even in the current environment.
Some local situations have changed, but the clinicians who care for you are doing everything possible to deliver ongoing care safely.
