A retrospective analysis of biopsies taken from cancer patients who had undergone treatment with a checkpoint inhibitor and subsequently received an mRNA vaccine for coronavirus disease has shown an association between the vaccination and immune response to the therapies. Results of the analyses were presented at the 13 to 17 September meeting of the European Society for Medical Oncology. The lead author of the paper is Adam Grippin, a resident in radiation oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, US.
