- Study examines 1-year cancer risks post-COVID-19 vaccination in South Korea.
- Data from 8,407,849 individuals analyzed from 2021-2023.
- Increased risks found for thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, and prostate cancers.
- Risks varied by vaccine type: cDNA, mRNA, and heterologous vaccines.
- Higher risks observed in males for gastric and lung cancers; females for thyroid and colorectal cancers.
- Younger individuals (≤65 years) more vulnerable to thyroid and breast cancers; older (≥75) to prostate cancer.
- Booster doses linked to higher risks of gastric and pancreatic cancers.
- Study suggests need for further research on causal relationships and optimal vaccination strategies.
