Cancer/testis antigens (CTAs) expression in resected lung cancer

Background Increasing evidence shows cancer/testis antigens (CTAs) play a key role in oncogenesis. Our pre-study finds that MAGEA1, MAGEA10, MAGEB2, KK-LC-1, and CTAG1A/B have high expression frequencies at the protein level. We aim to explore their prognostic role and correlations with clinical characteristics in resected lung cancer at the mRNA level.
