- COVID-19 mRNA vaccines may help the immune system fight cancer, according to a new study.
- Patients who received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines alongside immunotherapy had significantly higher survival rates.
- The vaccines act like an alarm, triggering the immune system to recognize and kill tumor cells.
- This approach could help treat 'cold' tumors that typically evade immune detection.
- A nationwide clinical trial is planned to test this treatment strategy in lung cancer patients.
