Abstract
Aim
Serum autoantibodies have been reported to react with tumor-associated antigens in various cancers. This study evaluated the diagnostic and prognostic significance of six autoantibody panels in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods
In this study, 193 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and 78 healthy controls were enrolled. Serum antibodies were detected using originally developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to detect autoantibodies against the following tumor antigens: c-myc, p62, RalA, p53, Sui1, and NY-ESO-1. The positive rates of the six-autoantibody panel were compared with those of SCC antigen (SCC-Ag). The prognostic significance of these autoantibodies was also evaluated.
Results
The overall positive rate was significantly higher in the six-autoantibody panel than in SCC-Ag (72% vs. 28%; p < 0.01). The positive rates of the six-autoantibody panel were 71% in stage 0/I, 73% in stage II, and 71% in stage III. No clinicopathological factors were associated with autoantibodies. Although the difference was not significant, the overall survival of the autoantibody-positive group was worse than that of the autoantibody-negative group (p = 0.14).
Conclusion
The six-autoantibody panel was useful for detecting esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, particularly in stage 0/I; however, it showed limited prognostic significance.
