Researchers from the Montefiore Montefiore Health System in New York and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, USA. USA, Confirmed crown 19 at Montefio Hospital in Bronx, New York, from March 18 to April 8. A follow-up study was conducted in 218 cancer patients.
As a result, the mortality rate of 61 patients was 28%. The average death rate for Corona 19 in the United States is 5.8%.
The team also divided the patients into solid and blood cancer, and analyzed their death rates. In solid cancer, 20 of 54 patients died, resulting in a 37% death rate, and in blood cancer, 41 of 164 deaths resulted in a 25% mortality rate.
Depending on the area of cancer onset, compared to breast cancer (14%) and prostate cancer (20%), patients with lung cancer have a death rate of 55% and colorectal cancer of 38% . It turned out to be bad.
Professor Balazs Halmos of the Einstein College of Medicine, who participated in the study, said: “He is more physical and older at the time of infection with ‘Corona 19’ than if the diagnosed (cancer) was actively treated for cancer. , leading to death. It was found to have an effect. “
Meanwhile, the research team traced the path of infection of cancer patients who died of ‘Corona 19’. As a result, more than half of the 61 deaths were found to be at high risk of exposure to infections, such as nursing homes and hospitals, 30 days before diagnosis. This suggests that facilities for treating cancer patients have increased the probability of infection with ‘Corona19’.
With the announcement of this study that cancer patients are vulnerable to “Corona 19”, Montefio Hospital has established a special treatment plan for cancer patients who are hospitalized or outpatient, and has also established a telemedicine system .
The results of this study were published in the recent issue of Cancer Discovery, the journal of the American Cancer Society.
