In our study, the infection rate of COVID-19 among cancer patients in the single center was estimated to be 2.7% (37 of 1380 patients), which was 6 times higher than that in Wuhan until Mar 30, 2020 (0.45%, 50,006 of 11,081,000). In terms of the results of laboratory tests, we interestingly found that the numbers of neutrophil, NLR, IL-6, LDH and PCT ( Table 2 ) in the severe/critical group were significantly higher than those in the mild group. Cancer patients had a high infection rate of SARS-CoV-2 and were easy to become severe or critical cases, which should be monitored closely during the COVID-19 epidemic.
