  • Description: Since the first cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) were reported in China in early January and the disease subsequently spread to the United States and nearly 200 countries, the oncology community has had to adapt to an ever‐evolving medical emergency while trying to ensure the health and safety of patients with cancer. According to Dr. Ribas, the only patients who did worse were those who had undergone very recent chemotherapy (eg, in the past 2 weeks) and had hematologic malignancies that lowered their ability to fight infections or had a history of smoking or another comorbid condition such as chronic inflammatory disease or hypertension. [...]investigators found mortality to be related more to frailty, age, and comorbidities than active cancer therapy. [...]they qualified that the patients were treated at a time when testing was almost exclusively performed for sicker, symptomatic people requiring hospitalization, which could explain the higher fatality rates. [...]JAK and BTK inhibitors, which are used to treat hematologic malignancies and rheumatoid conditions, are now being studied in patients infected with the coronavirus because some of the same issues exist in the pathogenesis of COVID‐19.
