Several retrospective studies have examined whether patients with cancer who develop COVID-19 may be at risk of more severe viral disease if their therapy includes immune checkpoint inhibition. Although the data are not uniform, for now, halting or modifying cancer treatment decisions is unnecessary; meanwhile, vigilance with testing for COVID-19 in this population is recommended.
