Abstract
Objective: To systematically analyze whether COVID-19
vaccination increases the risk of lymphoma. Methods: Data were
retrieved from five databases, including PubMed, BMJ, Web of Science,
Cochrane Library, and CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
Comprehensive searches of relevant articles in the databases were
conducted to enhance search accuracy. Articles and references were
further screened to improve retrieval precision. Data extraction and
analysis were subsequently performed. Results: A total of 143
cases of post-COVID-19 vaccination lymphoma were identified, including
11 cases from 9 articles and 132 cases of vaccine adverse events.
Systemic analysis revealed that among the cases, 53.8% were female,
with a median age of onset at 62 years (range: 9-99 years). The most
commonly implicated COVID-19 vaccines were mRNA vaccines, with
Pfizer-BioNTech accounting for 51.7% and Moderna for 42.7%. Adenovirus
vector vaccines, including ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (0.7%) and vAd26.COV2.S
(4.2%), were the next most prevalent. Approximately 45.7% of patients
developed lymphoma within 30 days of vaccine administration. Non-Hodgkin
lymphoma constituted the majority of pathological types (71.3%).
Conclusion: The administration of the COVID-19 vaccine may
potentially elevate the associated risk of lymphoma incidence.
