Evaluation of COVID-19 vaccine response in patients with cancer: An interim analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Efficacy and safety data of COVID-19 vaccines among cancer populations have been limited; however, preliminary data from recent studies have emerged regarding their immunogenicity and safety in this population. In this review, we examined current peer-reviewed publications containing serological and safety data after COVID-19 vaccination of patients with cancer.

Methods

This analysis examined 21 studies with a total of 5012 patients with cancer, of which 2676 (53%) had haematological malignancies, 2309 (46%) had solid cancers and 739 were healthy controls.
