[QUOTE="DS3, post: 177740, member: 18514"] "One confounding factor could have been that cancer patients on hormone therapy are treated at home instead of going to a hospital, making them better able to stick to social distancing, Alimonti said." This confounding factor brings about much doubt in the implications of this epidemiological research. Interesting? Yes. However, for any finding like there would need to be randomized controlled trials that are valid and reliable before a true causal relationship can be established. The problem with epidemiological research is that it correlates both highly correlated and loosely correlated variables, oftentimes drawing relationships where minimal to none exists. If a statistically significant number of men in this study with prostate cancer who were currently on hormone therapy were shown to have a reduced risk of both incidence and mortality rates from coronavirus compared to all other men in Italy with other types of cancer, without any major confounding variables like the one that was demonstrated, the results would be more promising.
