Duke University researchers 4have uncovered many autoantibodies to breast cancer, and many others have been found through the SEREX procedure described below. These findings await clinical studies.
Other cancers
The SEREX laboratory technique 5)has resulted in the compilation of large libraries of antigens associated with cancers. These include cancers of the esophagus, colon, stomach, kidneys, lung, breast, prostate, liver, and ovary, melanoma, sarcoma, neuroblastoma, Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and leukemia. Although the SEREX technique is not useful for screening, it is an important information resource for further studies.
