A member asked:
As a patient with cancer, how much higher is my risk of severe consequences of covid-19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Covid-19: If you currently are being treated for cancer you are immunocompromised and do have a greater risk of more serious disease. It really can't be quantified for an individual.
