VAX-CAN: An Independent Study of COVID-19 Vaccination, Circulating Tumour DNA and Cancer Outcomes
WHITE PAPER | VERSION 1.2 Prepared: 19 October 2026 Prepared by: OneDayMD Research Team Proposed programme: VAX-CAN Independent Research Programme Status: Concept paper for scientific review, ethics consultation and funding discussions A research proposal to investigate whether COVID-19 vaccination is associated with persistent cancer-related molecular signals, incident cancer diagnoses or objectively documented cancer progression. Proposed approach: A prospective, independently funded research programme combining a randomized biomarker study where ethically justified, longitudinal cancer surveillance, validated molecular assays and long-term clinical outcome assessment. Important statement of purpose This proposal does not assume that COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer, accelerate cancer growth or produce a phenomenon commonly called “turbo cancer.” It proposes a transparent study to investigate these questions using prespecified methods, appropriate...
