patients who received the vaccine within a few months of

immunotherapy, which revs up the immune system, lived nearly twice as long as unvaccinated patients.

That per a researcher's report, October 22nd in the peer-reviewed journal Nature. The team observed

something similar in people with melanoma, that per Elias Sayor,

a pediatric oncologist at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville.

The correlations suggest that MRNA vaccines, even those not designed for cancer,

could make tumors more sensitive to current therapies. That's an exciting finding, Hua Wang, a cancer vaccine researcher at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,

who was not involved in the work, saying, quote, it's definitely interesting, it's definitely important, end quote.

Now, at a time when MRNA COVID vaccines face increasing public and government skepticism,

the study offers new evidence that their benefits may extend beyond protection from infectious

diseases, that per wang.

Scientists already had clues about the anti-cancer effects of MRNA vaccines.

An experimental MRNA vaccine given to tumor-bearing mice, for instance, made
