Article Synopsis
- The study explored survival factors in cancer patients suspected of having COVID-19, highlighting that these patients face a significantly high risk of death.
- Out of 302 cancer patients, 18.2% tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 via RT-PCR, with older patients and those with respiratory symptoms being more prevalent in this group.
- The death rates at a median follow-up of 25 days were 21% for RT-PCR-positive and 10% for RT-PCR-negative patients, with risk factors for death including male gender, poor performance status, and presence of respiratory symptoms, but the viral detection did not correlate with increased mortality.
Home care is developing for patients suffering from haematological-oncological pathologies. The nurses and the whole team of the home hospitalisation department of the Léon-Bérard Centre in Lyon are prepared to deal with aplasia. Depending on its seriousness, the patient may be hospitalised or treated at home.
