Preliminary Approach to Implementing a COVID-19 Thoracic Radiation Therapy Program

The value of low-dose whole thoracic radiation therapy (LD-WTRT) for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pneumonia is unknown. Should ongoing clinical trials demonstrate that LD-WTRT proves effective for COVID-19 pneumonia recovery, widespread rapid implementation will be helpful globally. Our aim was to outline...

description The value of low-dose whole thoracic radiation therapy (LD-WTRT) for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pneumonia is unknown. Should ongoing clinical trials demonstrate that LD-WTRT proves effective for COVID-19 pneumonia recovery, widespread rapid implementation will be helpful globally. Our aim was to outline a pragmatic process for safe and efficient administration of LD-WTRT to patients with COVID-19 pneumonia that could be implemented successfully in a community hospital setting based on participation in the PreVent clinical trial of LD-WTRT.
