    Despite significant improvements in overall survival with PD-(L)1 inhibition, most patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) do not respond to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). Growing evidence suggests the importance of genomic alterations in modulating anti-cancer immune response and predicting ICI efficacy. However, the genomic correlates of response to ICI in NSCLC are largely unknown.

    Drs Paccou et al. noted that ‘Adult patients with known lymphoma receiving chemotherapy experienced significant [bone mineral density] BMD loss at 1 year’ [1]. Their conclusions were drawn based upon 32 assessable patients with BMD better than -2.5 by T or Z scores. We find these data to be highly interesting as these results are similar to our randomized phase III clinical trial which evaluated the benefit of zoledronic acid (ZA) in the same lymphoma patient population [2]. In our trial, the patients who received ZA had stable BMD during the observation period.

    Vaccination is an important preventive health measure to protect against symptomatic and severe COVID-19. Impaired immunity secondary to an underlying malignancy or recent receipt of antineoplastic systemic therapies can result in less robust antibody titers following vaccination and possible risk of breakthrough infection. As clinical trials evaluating COVID-19 vaccines largely excluded patients with a history of cancer and those on active immunosuppression (including chemotherapy), limited evidence is available to inform the clinical efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination across the spectrum of patients with cancer.
