    Document: This study has several limitations. First, this is a retrospective study with only 67 cases from four hospitals. Although it is the largest cancer patient cohort of COVID-19 up to now. The results may not be representative of the entire cancer patient population and should be interpreted with caution.

Therefore, an extended follow-up should be recommended for these patients. In the future, a larger COVID-19 cancer patient cohort from multicentre is needed to explore more detail information of cancer patients.
