In this large cohort of 260 patients, we demonstrated that patient ALC was a critical determinant of v-HLNs on 18F-FDG PET/CT after mRNA based- or viral vectorbased COVID-19 vaccination, as well as patient age and timing of last injection dose.

Therefore, it is possible that a person could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 just before or just after vaccination and then get sick because the vaccine did not have enough time to provide protection.

As a result, the 3 parameters (age, timing of last injection dose, and ALC) that we identified in the current study may help to guide nuclear medicine physicians in interpreting 18F-FDG PET/CT images and oncologists in choosing whether to perform a biopsy.

However, it remains to be demonstrated that 18F-FDG PET/CT can, in its widest sense, become a relevant imaging tool for invivo quantification of the immune response in healthy lymphoid tissues after mRNA vaccination (8). Lymphocyte count is a universal predictor of health outcomes in COVID-19 patients before mass vaccination: A meta-analytical study. Polack FP, Thomas SJ, Kitchin N, et al. Other effects of body weakening can also be associated with vaccines. revealed that lymphoma patients treated during the year before COVID-19 vaccination with rituximab-containing regimens (9%) had significantly lower rates of v-HLNs than did all other lymphoma patients (41%), associated with a strong relationship between v-HLNs and positive serologies (Spearman = 0.64 in patients who received the 2 doses of mRNA vaccine) (13). Steroids such as Prednisolone have a very short-lived effect of increasing the neutrophils. We conducted a retrospective review of 702 consecutive patients who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging at Institut Curie Hospital, Saint-Cloud, France (the flow chart is provided in Fig. A recent Johns Hopkins Medicine study suggests that T lymphocytes immune system cells that target the spike protein and direct antibodies against the COVID-19 virus persist six months after vaccination 2022 Sep 1;6(1):17. doi: 10.1186/s41824-022-00138-1. In BC patients, normal values of ALC after vaccination and before 18F-FDG PET/CT were the best indicator of the v-HLN status. Conclusions: Patients with normal values of ALC after COVID-19 vaccine were more likely to have v-HLN on 18F-FDG PET/CT, which might both be associated to a stronger immune response to vaccination. 2021 Jul 16;100(28):e26503. Clinical features of patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China. Further research is required to validate such findings and identify clinical, biologic, and imaging factors associated with the nature of HLNs (benign vs. malignant) ipsilateral to the breast tumor in a larger cohort of patients with early-stage BC. Family doctors, hematologists, breast surgeons, and radiologists must be aware of the fact that axillary, lower neck, supraclavicular, and infraclavicular lymphadenopathy may be related to the COVID-19 vaccine rather than representing actual more sinister pathologic processes. Our results are consistent with previously published data, suggesting that v-HLNs are significantly less common in elderly patients and conversely more frequent in patients who received their last vaccine injection a few days before 18F-FDG PET/CT (14).

Interestingly, for patients displaying lymphopenia after vaccination, we evaluated the dynamic of ALC and found that a low ALC existed before vaccination in most patients (67%, n = 36) suggesting that lymphopenia was not related to vaccination. Factors associated with v-HLNs were tested by logistic regression analysis using a stepwise Akaike information criterion method for variable selection (26). The median time between the last vaccination dose and 18F-FDG PET/CT scanning was 14d (range, 151d) for patients who received only 1 dose and 23 d (range, 167 d) for patients who received a second dose. Interestingly, for patients displaying lymphopenia after vaccination, we evaluated the dynamic of ALC and found that a low ALC existed before vaccination in most patients (67%, n = 36) suggesting that lymphopenia was not related to vaccination.

This clinical presentation thus highlights presence of v-HLNs in patient younger than 50 y and with normal ALC at time of 18F-FDG PET/CT, which was performed less than 30 d after last vaccine dose.

This predictor may help clinicians identify patients with a poor prognosis and may be useful for guiding clinical decision-making at an early stage. 18F-FDG PET/CT scan 4 d after last vaccine dose (April 2021) showed several HLNs (encircled). Biologic characteristics, including the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), were obtained from peripheral blood samples after vaccination (at least 1 dose) and before 18F-FDG PET/CT. On the basis of lymphoscintigraphy, the patient was diagnosed with transient lymphedema with decreased lymphatic transport in both lower extremities. Demographics, clinical parameters, and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) were collected, and their association with the presence of v-HLNs in the draining territory was studied by logistic regression.

Consequently, we cannot conclude with sufficient power the specific vaccine-subtype effects on the 18F-FDG PET/CT response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. we divided the length of hospitalization into five time points, namely admission, 25%, 50%, 75% and discharge, according to the principle of interquartile distance.

We thus studied patients with axillary HLNs ipsilateral to the recently vaccinated arm but also ipsilateral to the known tumor, and we found signs of malignancy, with tumor cells in half the patients whereas the other half had benign reactive changes. For this reason, everyone who receives a COVID-19 vaccine is monitored by their vaccination provider for at least 15 minutes.

Although we could say that chemotherapy or rituximab-containing regimens are likely to block the serologic response to COVID-19 (13) or influenza A (H1N1) vaccinations (31,32), the relationship between immunodepression and reactive HLNs in the drainage territory remains unclear from the literature. 2023 Feb;118:53-64.e1.
