Since the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak reached the pandemic status, our hospital was identified as a COVID-19 referral center. Within the framework of the emergent plan re-organizing the regional health-care system, we were able to operate 3-4 patients with brain tumors per week and to guarantee neuro-oncological visits three times per week. As a further measure to limit the patients' accesses to the outpatient clinic, we encouraged the use of e-mails, telephone, and image-transfer tools to provide continuity of care. Such a multidisciplinary effort may enhance our response to the pandemic and contribute to the development of shared guidelines for modifying the approach to patients' follow-up, as it is already emerging in other medical fields 5 Neuro-oncology Management During the COVID-19	./cache/cord-275518-p03sl946.txt	./txt/cord-275518-p03sl946.txt
