## Abstract ## Background The prognostic value of cancer testis antigens in pharyngeal cancer is understudied. ## Methods We recruited 90 patients who were treated for pharyngeal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies 57B and B9.8.1.1 were used for detection of MAGEβA and NYβESOβ1 genes. ## Results MAG

## Abstract Cancer/testis antigens (CTAs) elicit immune response in cancer patients and are therefore targets of immunotherapy. Current information on CTA expression is primarily based on mRNA assays and little is known about their expression at the protein level. The objectives of our study are to
## Abstract ## Background. Certain tumor antigens have been identified that stimulate an immune response, thus making them targets for immunotherapy. NYβESOβ1, MAGEβ1, and MAGEβ3 are such antigens. This study was undertaken to determine their presence or absence in head and neck squamous cell canc
