How does COVID-19 Affect People with Cancer?
from Cancer Convos: Survivorship. Advocacy. Policy · host PodTechs Original
In addition to the shock of a cancer diagnosis and stress of treatment, cancer patients may also be at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 because their cancer, or its treatment, has left them more vulnerable to complications. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) launched a long-term, nationwide study of COVID-19 in people with cancer called NCI COVID-19 in Cancer Patients Study (NCCAPS). In this podcast episode, NCCS CEO Shelley Fuld Nasso speaks with leaders of the study] about how it will help scientists answer key questions about COVID-19’s impact on cancer patients, as well as cancer’s impact on the course of COVID-19. The findings have the potential to influence the treatment of cancer patients with COVID-19 in the future.
