COVID-19 related symptoms and the second infection status of SARS-CoV-2 in patients with lung cancer: A single-center, six-month longitudinal observational study
Our analysis suggests that COVID-19 has a high infection rate in patients with lung cancer, but the duration of different symptoms varies. Patients with a first SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis who had previously been treated for oncology experienced less severe pain-related symptoms than patients with lung cancer diagnosed after infection. COVID-19 vaccines have demonstrated protective effects by mitigating symptom severity following a second infection. Suggest that we should further explore ways to reduce the morbidity, severity, and mortality of COVID-19 while ensuring adherence to patients' standard treatment plans.
