BCG vaccine is preventive against lung cancer. This retrospective study shows that person aged 60 yr and plus who were given BCG vaccine had lower rates of lung cancer specifically as compared to those who were not given BCG at birth or in childhood.
Infact 2.5 times lower rate of lung cancer in vaccine group.
BCG vaccine causes immense immunomodulations in human body and it is due to immune regulation effects that it is preventive against lung cancer by 2.5 times.

There have been similar studies previously where analysis of retrospective data showed that those Diabetics who had received BCG vaccine,it was easier to establish glycemic control in them.
Or in case of multiple viral infections such as yellow fever,BCG vaccine weakened the disease activity because T lymphocytes directed against TB would also target other virii or even plasmodium !
I think that over the next decade BCG vaccination would be encouraged not only as being protective against TB., but as an opportunity to boost immune system against cancers
