IV International Forum of Oncology and Radiology "TOGETHER - FOR LIFE!" - a unique space for professional communication, which this year brought together more than 1,500 Russian and foreign scientists, leading practitioners and young doctors involved in the process of detecting and treating oncological diseases.
The Forum was organized by the NMIT of Radiology with the support of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Federal Medical and Biological Agency, Russian Association of Therapeutic Radiation Oncologists, “National Medical Research Center of Oncology named after V.I. N.N. Petrov " and a number of other high-profile institutions known for their achievements in medicine, including medical universities and professional associations.
The Forum is taking place at the time of the 150th anniversary of the outstanding surgeon, founder of the Russian oncological school, Pyotr Alexandrovich Herzen. As a brilliant pedagogue, he strove to teach his students clinical thinking, correct assessment of facts and observations, and the ability to form correct conclusions. His ideas, discoveries, developments, approaches are in many ways still relevant.
Reducing mortality from cancer is one of the top-priority government tasks, which involves not only the industry specialists, but the entire medical community, as well as government authorities. The federal project to combat cancer is included in the National Project: "Health". It is worth emphasizing that despite the difficult situation caused by the pandemic, cancer patients receive full medical attention in Russia.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the work of the entire global medical community. Oncological and radiological services, like all specialized medical areas, strive to adapt to the new format of activity. The virus has already brought in a range of guidelines and recommendations - some formulated by medical groups, others by leading cancer communities. The new data is extremely important, and the different opinions and practices are forcing doctors to reconsider their own approaches. At the same time, optimization of treatment allows minimizing the risks of complications for patients at risk of coronavirus infection.
