Older Cancer Patients At Great Risk From COVID-19

New research presented at the ESCMID Conference on Coronavirus Diseases on September 23, 2020, suggests that the poor outcomes and higher death rates in cancer patients with COVID-19 could be due to them generally being older and having more underlying conditions, rather than due to cancer itself. This study is by Dr. Maria Rüthrich, Jena University Hospital, Germany, and colleagues.
