Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the scientific evidence on the prognosis of people with oncological diseases who were affected by COVID-19. This is an integrative literature review based on the PICo strategy, carried out with 10 articles indexed in LILACS, SciELO, and MEDLINE databases, in April 2022. Of the 4679 studies, 10 articles were used because they were suitable for this review. It was evident that oncological patients have an unfavorable prognosis for COVID-19 due to immunosuppression, treatments, and comorbidities, and the pandemic affected oncological practice with delays and adaptations. Since COVID-19 is an emerging disease, it is necessary to understand its effect on oncological patients, as well as to encourage the development of continuous studies to improve the care and treatment of this immunosuppressed population.
