ASCO Outlines Oncologists' Role in COVID-19 Pandemic

— Guidance for allocating scarce resources

“One of the most difficult challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic is the prospect that medical need might outpace medical resources.

Jonathan Marron, MD, MPH, of Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center and chair-elect of the Ethics Committee of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), speaking at a press briefing on Thursday, spoke about this possibility, how it might affect oncology care, and the recommendations issued by ASCO for allocation of scarce resources.”
