SARS-CoV-2 infection rate ‘higher in people with cancer’
Frequent hospital visits, rather than chemotherapy, are the problem, say Chinese doctors
The SARS-CoV-2 infection rate appears to be more than twice as high in patients with cancer as in the general population, according to data from Wuhan, China.
“Cancer patients are an at-risk population overall, and there will be an impact on long-term cancer control outcomes due to this pandemic,” said Dr Chua Melvin, from Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Hubei.
