ESMO 2024 | Impact of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines on PD-L1 expression and immunotherapy outcomes

Adam Grippin, MD, PhD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses a study investigating the effects of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines on PD-L1 expression and survival outcomes in patients with stage III/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and metastatic melanoma. Analysis of 3,163 patients revealed that mRNA vaccination within 100 days of biopsy was associated with a improved survival in NSCLC and melanoma, suggesting a synergistic effect of mRNA vaccination and ICI. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2024 Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
