Patients with cancer have an increased risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and an attenuated responses to various vaccines. This meta-analysis aims to assess the serologic response to COVID-19 vaccination in patients with cancer.
Electronic databases were systematically searched on August 1, 2021 for studies that reported the serologic response to COVID-19 vaccine in cancer patients. Random effects models were used to achieve pooled serologic response rates and odds ratios (ORs).
We analyzed 16 observational studies with a total of 1453 patients with cancer. A majority of studies used mRNA vaccines (BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273). The proportion of patients achieving a serologic response after a single and two doses of COVID-19 vaccine were 54.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] 41.0-66.9) and 87.7% (95% CI 82.5-91.5), respectively. Patients with hematologic cancers had a lower response rate after the second dose of vaccine compared to those with solid organ cancers (63.7% vs. 94.9%), which was attributable to the low response rates associated with certain conditions (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, lymphoma) and therapies (anti-CD20, kinase inhibitors). A lower proportion of patients with cancer achieved a serologic response compared to control patients after one and two doses of vaccine (OR0.073 [95% CI 0.026-0.20] and 0.10 [95% CI 0.039-0.26], respectively).
Patients with cancer, especially those with hematologic B-cell malignancies, have a lower serologic response to COVID-19 vaccines. The results suggest that cancer patients should continue to follow safety measures including mask-wearing after vaccination and suggest the need for additional strategies for prophylaxis.
癌症患者罹患 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的风险增加,并且对各种疫苗的反应减弱。本荟萃分析旨在评估癌症患者对 COVID-19 疫苗的血清学反应。
系统检索了 2021 年 8 月 1 日电子数据库中关于报道癌症患者 COVID-19 疫苗血清学反应的研究。使用随机效应模型计算血清学反应率和比值比(OR)的合并值。
我们分析了 16 项观察性研究,共纳入 1453 例癌症患者。大多数研究使用信使 RNA 疫苗(BNT162b2 或 mRNA-1273)。单次和两次 COVID-19 疫苗接种后产生血清学反应的患者比例分别为 54.2%(95%置信区间 [CI] 41.0-66.9)和 87.7%(95% CI 82.5-91.5)。与实体器官癌症患者相比,血液系统癌症患者第二次疫苗接种后的反应率较低(63.7%比 94.9%),这归因于某些疾病(慢性淋巴细胞白血病,淋巴瘤)和治疗方法(抗-CD20,激酶抑制剂)导致的低反应率。与对照组患者相比,癌症患者单次和两次接种疫苗后产生血清学反应的比例较低(OR0.073 [95% CI 0.026-0.20] 和 0.10 [95% CI 0.039-0.26])。
癌症患者,尤其是血液系统 B 细胞恶性肿瘤患者,对 COVID-19 疫苗的血清学反应较低。结果表明,癌症患者在接种疫苗后应继续遵循包括戴口罩在内的安全措施,并建议采取额外的预防策略。
