Abstract
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, health care system was readjusted and thoracic cancer patients with COVID-19 were studied in international registries. In patients with malignant thoracic neoplasms the differential diagnosis is complex, due to the location of the disease and symptoms related to cancer. Age, smoking status, comorbidities, previous corticotherapy treatment, performance status and stage of thoracic malignancies have been described as prognostic factors. Some registries and series of COVID-19 in thoracic malignancy patients reported mortality rates of 26% (CCC-19), 32% (TERAVOLT), 39% (UKCCMP) and even 47% (Dutch Oncology COVID-19 Consortium).
