Are there any cancer types that are more susceptible to the virus than any other?

I've heard it said that anyone with compromised immune systems, on chemo, or radiation. I'm guessing any of us with a cancer diagnosis are in that category.

    Lymphomas and Leukemias. They attack the very immune system which tries to fight the virus. However, anyone in treatment is more susceptible, as they have probably received drugs which damaged the bone marrow, thus compromising immunity.
