Missed #COVID19nCancer plenary in #AACR20 @AACR?
Here’s a thread to catch up on all the fascinating global research presented by:
@AACR @AACRPres #AntoniRibas #LiZhang @marinagarassino @barlesi #CarlosGomez #LouisVoigt #HongbingCai cc:@OncoAlert @COVID19nCCC @ASCO @ASH_hematology
#1: Chinese Experience by #LiZhang and #HongbingCai

More evidence of increased prevalence of #Cancer among #COVID19, ~2% similar to what we found in our #metanalysis @ASCO_pubs #JCOGO here: ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/GO…
#LiZhang described 35.7% required mechanical ventilation and significant risk factors for severe outcomes on #multivariate analysis was recent #cancertreatment and #consolidation on CT
#HongbingCai also described similar worse clinical outcomes in #cancer cohort compared to #non-cancer with worse outcomes in #hematological malignancies, #lungcancer and those recieving #chemotherapy #IO and #surgery @ASH @ASCO @COVID19nCCC
#2 Data from France @GustaveRoussy presented by @barlesi

Among 137 patients analyzed, majority were solid tumors, and with advanced disease
Of these, 11% patients were admitted to ICU with 14.6% #COVID19 related deaths. Researchers @GustaveRoussey also found increased clinical worsening among patients with #hematological malignancies and #ECOG >1 @ASH_hematology
Also, #treatment and #chemotherapy in last 3 months was significantly related to clinical worsening, confirming findings from some of the previous early reports in @TheLancetOncol thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/… and @Annals_Oncology annalsofoncology.org/article/S0923-…
Interestingly, #Targetedtherapy and #IO were not significantly related with worsening clinical outcomes in data from @GustaveRoussy
#3 Data from Spain presented by Carlos Gomez-Martin reported 25% patient dying due to #COVID19 and mean OS: 12.4 days, 54% patients with respiratory failure and 38% ARDS. #Significant risk factors were: severe #neutropenia and bilateral radiological pattern.
#4 @marinagarassino from #Italy reported first data from #TERAVOLT registry on #thoracic malignancies
For severe events, 8.8% with #ICU admissions and 2.5% with #ventilation for #COVID19 but no variables were found to be significantly related for outcomes in multivariate analysis (yet)

Thank you @marinagarassino for kind mention of @COVID19nCCC and our #metanalysis @tm_parekh
To summarize, this great slide by #LouisVogt from @sloan_kettering which describes the need for ensuring rapid action in the fight against #COVID19 and #COVID19nCancer.

With registries such as @ASCO @ASH @COVID19nCCC #TERAVOLT, we are making progress! nature.com/articles/s4301…
