Spontaneous tumor regression following COVID-19 vaccination by Hui Dai, Renata Ferrarotto, Myrna Godoy, Diana Bell, Shiaw-Yih Lin, Daniel J McGrail, Luana Guimaraes de Sousa, Kaiyi Li, Mario L Marques-Piubelli, Cipriano Gonzalez, Sammy Ferri-Borgogno, Jared Burks

“…Highly multiplexed imaging mass cytometry showed that the postvaccination lung metastasis samples had remarkable immune cell infiltration, including CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, natural killer cells, B cells, and dendritic cells, which contrasted with very low levels of these cells in the prevaccination primary tumor and lung metastasis samples. CT scans obtained 3, 6, and 9 months after the second vaccine dose demonstrated persistent tumor shrinkage (50%, 67%, and 73% reduction, respectively), suggesting that vaccination stimulated anticancer immunity. …”
