The study found the MRNA COVID-19 vaccines nearly doubled the median survival length of patients.

A new study suggests MRNA coronavirus vaccines could help cancer patients. Researchers looked at health records of patients getting immunotherapy for lung and skin cancer. The researchers compared the records of patients who got MRNA vaccines to those. Who didn’t. The study found the MRNA COVID-19 vaccine nearly doubled the median survival length of patients. Researchers believe the vaccines awakened the body’s immune system to the presence of cancer, but they don’t know exactly how.
