Factors influencing Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels after vaccination in breast cancer patients.
Article in Discover oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesBreast cancer patients may exhibit impaired vaccine-induced immunity due to disease progression and treatment-related immunosuppression. This study examined clinical factors associated with anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG responses post-COVID-19 vaccination, with a focus on disease stage and treatment timing.
methodsWe analyzed 63 breast cancer patients vaccinated between 2021 and 2022. Clinical data—including tumor size, stage, lymph node involvement, estrogen receptor (ER) status, and treatments (chemotherapy, radiation)—were collected. Serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels were assessed after each vaccine dose.
resultsAfter the first dose, lower IgG titers were observed in patients receiving chemotherapy, with lymph node involvement, or left-sided tumors. Higher titers were associated with larger tumors (≥ 2 cm), Stage > 2 A, ER positivity, and radiation therapy, possibly due to Th2-skewed responses. Longer diagnosis-to-vaccination intervals enhanced responses. No stage-related differences were found after the second dose, likely due to a ceiling effect. mRNA vaccines tended to elicited higher titers than adenoviral vector vaccines. Reported adverse effects were mild.
conclusionsTumor stage, ER status, radiation, and vaccination timing influence humoral responses in breast cancer patients. These findings highlight the need for tailored vaccine strategies, including the timing of mRNA vaccines, to optimize protection in this population.
