Should safety of the flu vaccine for cancer patients be
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Seasonal flu vaccine is recommended as the best protection for cancer patients against influenza infection. Recent and experimental data in silico suggest that antibodies elicited with influenza vaccine could activate bradykinin receptor B2-associated signaling pathway, which is also involved in cell proliferation and migration of tumor cells. These results point to an urgent need for the reexamination of safety of influenza vaccine(s) in cancer patients.
