abstract：:Immune responses to tumor antigens have been reported in cancer patients. However, the relevance of such spontaneous immune responses to the clinical course has not been studied extensively. We showed that the overall survival of patients with antibodies against NY-ESO-1 or XAGE1 (GAGED2a) antigen was prolonged in gas...
