A study demonstrated that viral immune evasion enabled breakthrough infections of COVID-19 in patients with lung cancer, highlighting the importance of effective monitoring mechanisms, such as anti-N serology, to track infection rates in specific vulnerable populations.
Scientists have identified a potential driver of aggressive lung cancer tumors in patients who live in areas with high levels of violent crime. Their study found that stress responses differ between those living in neighborhoods with higher and lower levels of violent crime, and between cancerous and healthy tissues in the same individuals.
