Oncology during the New Coronavirus Infection Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a catalyst for a whole layer of scientific research, including in Russia, where, since 2020, international multicenter studies have been conducted on the impact of the coronavirus infection on the course of oncological diseases, as well as on the development and application of new clinical methods in oncology. In the years 2020-2022, new methods of nuclear medicine based on the targeted effect of ionizing radiation of radiopharmaceuticals began to be actively developed, in particular, new domestic radiopharmaceuticals (RPs) for diagnostics and therapy and methods of intra-arterial radioembolization developed by RPs with 90Y and 188Re of primary and metastatic tumors of various localization. New methods of radiation therapy have been introduced into clinical practice, including remote radiation therapy with "fast" neutrons, which makes it possible to overcome the resistance of a tumor to radiation and drug treatment. In addition, the search for and introduction into clinical practice of new approaches in the field of gene therapy and the use of oncolytic viruses continues. Platforms for complex pharmacogenomic analysis based on global knowledge and deep machine learning are being used in Russia, allowing for the precise selection of the most effective therapy. New multidisciplinary technologies are being developed.
