Background: SARS-CoV2 is a highly contagious virus causing COVID-19 (Corona virus disease 2019), which has resulted in more than 6 million deaths worldwide as of June 2022. Mortality in COVID-19 has mainly been attributed to respiratory failure. Previous studies showed that the presence of cancer did not adversely affect the outcome of COVID-19. However, in our clinical practice, it was noted that in cancer patients with pulmonary involvement, COVID-19-related morbidity, and morbidity were high. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the impact of cancerous pulmonary involvement on COVID-19 outcomes and to compare clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in cancer and non-cancer population, with further discretion between cancers with and without pulmonary involvement.Methods: We performed a retrospective study from April 2020 until June 2020 with a sample size of 117 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV2 on nasal swab PCR. Data was extracted from HIS (Hospital Information System). Hospitalization, supplemental oxygen, ventilatory support, and death were compared between non-cancer and cancer patients with a particular focus on pulmonary involvement.Results: Admissions, supplemental oxygen requirement, and mortality were significantly higher in cancer patients with pulmonary involvement (63.3%, 36.4%, and 45%, respectively) compared to cancer patients without pulmonary involvement (22.1%, 14.7%, and 8.8% respectively) (p-values: 0.00003, 0.003, and 0.00003 respectively). In the non-cancer group, there was no mortality, only 2% required admission, and none needed supplemental oxygen.Conclusion: We conclude that the cancer patient with pulmonary involvement was significantly at higher risk of complications and death from COVID when compared with the non-pulmonary cancer group and the general population.
