We know COVID-19 can downregulate the immune system. This may increases the risk for early onset cancer. If this is true, long COVID patients are at biggest risk to develop cancer, but this may affect even non-long COVID cases from mild Covid-19 infections.
Various viruses have been identified to increase cancer risk, it won't be a big surprise if SARS-CoV-2 is in this group.
