"Studies in mice and an analysis of medical records of cancer patients who received mRNA shots for COVID-19 before starting immunotherapy for cancer treatment revealed a startling pattern: the vaccinated patients lived significantly longer than those who had not received the shots. A team of researchers from the University of Florida and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center presented the results this week at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress in Berlin"
"Unlike traditional vaccines, which used weakened or inactive parts of a virus to trigger the immune system to build a defence, mRNA vaccines deliver a small strand of genetic code known as messenger RNA directly into the body's cells. The cell reads this blueprint as an instruction to manufacture a spike protein which mimics that of the virus, and display it on its surface, effectively waving a red flag that alerts the immune system to build a defence."
Mouse experiments and a medical-record analysis found cancer patients who received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines before beginning immunotherapy lived significantly longer than unvaccinated patients. Researchers from the University of Florida and the University of Texas MD Anderson presented results at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress and published findings in Nature. mRNA vaccines deliver messenger RNA that instructs cells to produce a viral spike protein, provoking immune activation. The vaccines appear to wake up immune pathways that can also target tumours, suggesting potential for mass-produced off-the-shelf cancer vaccines amid reduced US federal mRNA funding.
