Further analyses suggest that cancer patients may also be at increased risk of severe complications from COVID-19, including hospitalization, respiratory failure, and death (Dai et al. Compared to the general population, cancer patients tend to be older, are more often smokers, and have more comorbid medical conditions; all of which are reported risk factors for severe COVID-19 infection (Jordan et al. Given the above, it is imperative that real-world evidence about the effects of COVID-19 on cancer patients is collected and disseminated rapidly to inform clinical decisions. The outcomes for patients receiving various potential anti-COVID19 therapies are useful in determining which agents are most rational to investigate in future prospective clinical trials. Driven by the need to harmonize data, CCC19 has the potential to collect large scale, timely real-world data on cancer patients infected with COVID-19.	./cache/cord-294190-s337jpbo.txt	./txt/cord-294190-s337jpbo.txt
