Abstract
The worldwide epidemic of three coronaviruses and one influenza virus in 21st century have seriously threatened human health. Infection with these viruses can cause respiratory symptoms. The patients with lung cancer are more susceptible to viral infection and have a worse prognosis due to the advanced age and the systemic immunosuppressive state caused by malignancy itself and the anticancer treatments. In addition, without sufficient clinical awareness, a missed diagnosis of viral pneumonia may occur due to the fever and respiratory symptoms caused by lung cancer and its secondary diseases. Furthermore, control measures against viral outbreaks may interfere with routine diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer patients. Therefore, scientific protection and individualized management of lung cancer patients are particularly important during virus epidemic prevention and control. Here, we systematically reviewed the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of viral pneumonia, its impact on patients with lung cancer and the differential diagnosis of lung cancer-related respiratory manifestations, aiming to provide guidance for the individual management of lung cancer patients during the prevention and control of viral pneumonia epidemic.Entities:

COVID-19与肺癌及肺癌治疗后继发性疾病的鉴别
Difference between lung cancer, treatment-related diseases and COVID-19
| Disease | History | Symptom | Laboratory data | Image study |
| COVID-19: 2019 novel coronavirus disease; SARS-CoV-2: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; PD-1: programmed cell death protein 1; PD-L1: programmed cell death protein ligand 1; CTLA-4: cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4. | ||||
| COVID-19[ | Epidemiological history | Fever, sore throat, muscle ache, fatigue, cough, and may be accompanied by dyspnea in severe cases | Leucocytes↓ | Single or multiple mottling or ground-glass opacity or condensation shadows in bilateral lung, mainly in the peripheral lung, and pleural suffusion is rare |
| Lung cancer with obstructive pneumonia[ | Lung cancer history | No special symptoms, and may shows as fever, cough and shortness of breath | Leucocytes↑ | Bronchial stenosis or occlusion in the proximal part of the lesion and pulmonary atelectasis or infiltration or condensation shadows in the distal part of the lesion |
| Radiation pneumonia[ | Radiotherapy history, mostly happened in 1 mon-3 mon after radiation | Cough usually precedes fever, and may be accompanied by dyspnea in severe cases | No special | Mottling or ground-glass opacity or condensation shadows in the radiation field |
| Drug-induced interstitial pneumonia[ | Chemotherapy or molecular targeted therapy history | Progressive dyspnea and cough | No special | Widespread patchy or diffuse consolidation or ground-glass opacity with or without intralobular reticular opacity and septal thickening |
| Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy-related pneumonitis[ | Treatment history of PD-1, PD-L1 or CTLA-4 | Cough and dyspnea are usual, and fever is rare | No special | Multiple or diffuse ground-glass opacity or mesh shadow or condensation shadows in lung |
