Abstract

Patients with thoracic cancers and COVID-19 have high mortality and morbidity. • Systematic data evaluating the impact of recent anti-cancer therapies on COVID-19 outcomes in patients with thoracic cancers are limited. • We analyzed clinical data from patients with thoracic cancers and COVID-19 (N=927) to systematically evaluate the impact of recent anti-cancer therapies on the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 from the COVID-19 and Cancer Consortium (CCC19). • As opposed to immunotherapy or targeted therapy, recent (<3 months prior to COVID-19 diagnosis) cytotoxic chemotherapy exposure was significantly associated with COVID-19 severity. • None of the other systemic therapies or treatment modalities were significantly associated with 30-day all-cause mortality. • Baseline steroid use of 10 mg or more of prednisone equivalent was not associated COVID-19 severity and 30-day all-cause mortality.
