Multi-panel assay of serum autoantibodies in colorectal cancer

ConclusionThe measurement of set of 17 autoantibodies allowed autoantibody profiling in patients with colorectal cancer. The combination assay of six tumor antigens (p53, RalA, HSP70, Galectin1, KM-HN-1, and NY-ESO-1) achieved a positive rate of 56%. Such high positive rates will be helpful for detecting colorectal cancer regardless of tumor stages.
