Popis: Background: Data on immune response rates following vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 in patients with hepatobiliary carcinoma (HBC) are rare. However, impaired immunogenicity must be expected due to the combination of chronic liver diseases (CLD) with malignancy and anticancer treatment. Methods: In this prospective, longitudinal study, 101 patients were included, of whom 59 were patients with HBC under anticancer treatment. A cohort of patients with a past medical history of gastrointestinal cancer (GI-cancer), of whom 28.6% had HBC without detectable active tumor disease having been off therapy for at least 12 months served as control. Levels of SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike IgG, surrogate neutralization antibodies (sNAB) and cellular immune responses were compared. In uni- and multivariable subgroup analyses, risk factors for impaired immunogenicity were regarded. Data on rates and clinical courses of SARS-CoV-2 infections were documented. Results: In patients with HBC under active treatment, levels of SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike IgG were significantly lower (2.55 log10 BAU/mL; 95% CI 2.33 to 2.76; p
