COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines Boost Cancer Patient Survival 5-Fold

Scientists just discovered something extraordinary about COVID-19 vaccines and cancer survival rates. Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center found that cancer patients who received Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived substantially longer than unvaccinated patients. Lung cancer patients saw their three-year survival rates nearly double, while melanoma patients experienced…

Could Our Gut Bacteria Help Boost Our Cancer Treatment Efforts?

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, accounting for almost one in every six fatalities. [1] According to researchers, the disease can develop as a result of immunosurveillance attenuation and immunological tolerance to tumor-derived antigens. Specific bacterial or viral infections have been linked to the development of several malignancies. Despite recent advances,…
