The burden of COVID-19 death for different cancer types: a large population-based study
We revealed the burden of COVID-19 death across different cancer types. COVID-19 mortality was highest in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and prostate cancer, while patients with lung and bronchus cancer had a lower risk. Years from diagnosis independently predict COVID-19 death. Based on the results, we support more prompt risk assessment and treatment for various types of cancer.
