Reports from a nationwide study in China by Wenhua Liang stated that 18 participants out of 1,590 COVID-19 cases had a cancer history [5]. This group of patients, though small, recorded severe adverse events such as admission to the intensive care unit for invasive ventilation or death. These adverse events were most common in patients who had received chemotherapy or surgery within the last month. This study reported that a cancer history represented the highest risk for severe events especially in the elderly age group and clinical deterioration was rapid in this group.
