Could COVID Vax Fight Cancer? New Findings Surprise on Immunotherapy Outcomes
Can a COVID-19 Vaccine Help Treat Cancer? Recent research from the United States has sparked interest in whether COVID-19 vaccines, particularly mRNA vaccines, might influence cancer outcomes when given alongside immunotherapy. In a retrospective analysis of more than 1,000 patients with advanced lung cancer or metastatic melanoma, researchers found that those who received a COVID-19…

Hospitalization Spending on Cancers in Hunan, China (2017–2019): A Comprehensive Look at Costs and Determinants
Overview Cacing the economic burden of cancer requires looking beyond incidence and mortality to how hospitalization costs accumulate. A retrospective study using the CNHSNRS data from 2017–2019 in Hunan Province, China, quantified inpatient spending for all cancers, described the cost distribution across cancer sites and patient characteristics, and identified factors associated with higher per-admission costs.…
