Resumen :	Introduction: The ACHOCC-19 study was performed to characterize COVID-19 infection in our oncological population. Methodology: Analytical cohort study of patients with cancer and COVID-19 infection in Colombia. From April 1 to October 31, 2020. Demographic and clinical variables related to cancer and COVID-19 infection were collected. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality from all causes. The association between the outcome and the prognostic variables was analyzed using logistic regression models and survival analysis with Cox regression. Results: 742 patients were included. 72% > 51 years. The most prevalent neoplasms were breast (132 [17,77%]), colorectal (92 12,34%), and prostate (81 [10,9%]). 220 (29,6%) patients were asymptomatic and 96 (26,3%) died. In the bivariate descriptive analysis, higher mortality in patients > 70 years, lung cancer, ≥2 comorbidities, former smokers, receiving antibiotics, corticosteroids, and anticoagulants, residents of rural areas, low socioeconomic status, and increased acute phase reactants. In the logistic regression analysis, higher mortality with ECOG 3 OR 28,67 (8,2-99,6), ECOG 4 OR 20,89 (3,36-129,7), two complications from COVID-19 OR 5,3 (1,50-18,1), and cancer in progression OR 02,08 (1,01-4,27). In the Cox regression analysis, the statistically significant HRs were metastatic disease HR 1,58 (1,16 - 2,16), cancer in progression HR 1,08 (1,24 - 2,61) vs partial response HR 0,31 (0,11 - 0,88), use of steroids HR 1,44 (1,01 - 2,06) and antibiotics HR 2,11 (1,47 - 2,95). Interpretations: In our study, cancer patients have higher mortality due to COVID-19 infection if they have active cancer, metastatic or progressive cancer, ECOG status >2 and low socioeconomic status. Implications for practice: Our findings raise the need to carefully evaluate patients with metastatic cancer, in progression, and with impaired ECOG to define the relevance of cancer treatment during the pandemic, consider the risk/benefit of the interventions, and establish clear and complete communication with the patients and their families about the risk of complications. There is also the importance of offering additional support to patients with low income and residence in rural areas so that they can have more support during cancer treatment.
