flag mRNA COVID vaccines within 100 days of immunotherapy linked to longer survival in advanced lung or skin cancer patients, per a new study.

flag A new study links mRNA COVID-19 vaccination within 100 days of starting immunotherapy to longer survival in advanced lung or skin cancer patients. flag Researchers from MD Anderson and the University of Florida analyzed over 1,000 records and found improved outcomes, suggesting the vaccine may boost immune responses by activating T-cells and enhancing tumor recognition. flag While results are promising and supported by animal data, the findings are based on retrospective data and cannot prove causation. flag Experts stress the need for large, prospective clinical trials to confirm the effect, with a Phase 3 trial underway to enroll 500 patients. flag If validated, this approach could expand the use of mRNA technology in cancer treatment.
