Based on several underlying factor cancer patients per se harbor an increased risk for dismal outcome of COVID. Age, malnutrition, pre-existing lung disorders and immune suppression comprise the most notable factors to be taken into account in cancer patients. As radiotherapy is one of the major pillars in oncology, there is an urgent need for recommendations on how to deal with various facets of COVID-19 in the framework of radiation oncology. The article by S. Combs et alrepresents the result of a consensus discussion between representatives from fivelarge University Hospitals in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We are pleased to announce a new cross-journal thematic series on 鈥樷€?strong>Artificial intelligence in Cancer imaging and diagnosis"to help bring together the latest research on the application of artificial intelligence in this field. Please click here for more information about this series.The thematic series is now open for submission of original research and review articles.
