| Abstract: | In this retrospective study of 105 severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected cancer patients with longitudinal nasopharyngeal sampling, the duration of viral shedding and time to attain cycle threshold >30 was longer in patients with hematologic malignancy than in those with solid tumors. These findings have important public health implications. |
