Serologic autoantibodies as diagnostic cancer biomarkers--a review.
Current diagnostic techniques used for the early detection of cancers are successful but subject to detection bias. A recent focus lies in the development of more accurate diagnostic tools. An increase in serologic autoantibody levels has been shown to precede the development of cancer disease symptoms. Therefore, autoantibody levels in patient blood serum have been proposed as diagnostic bioma...
متن کاملSerum tumor-associated autoantibodies as diagnostic biomarkers for lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
OBJECTIVE We performed a comprehensive review and meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic values of serum single and multiplex tumor-associated autoantibodies (TAAbs) in patients with lung cancer (LC). METHODS We searched the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases for relevant studies investigating serum TAAbs for the diagnosis of LC. The primary outcomes included sensitivity, specificity and accuracy...
متن کاملAutoantibodies as Biomarkers in Cancer
Circulating autoantibodies produced by the patient’s own immune system after exposure to cancer proteins are emerging as promising biomarkers for the early detection of cancer. An advantage of autoantibodies in cancer detection is their production in large quantities, despite the presence of a relatively small amount of the corresponding antigen. Autoantibodies are also expected to have persist...
متن کاملAutoantibodies against C1q as a Diagnostic Measure of Lupus Nephritis: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of C1q autoantibodies in identifying lupus nephritis (LN) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). DATA SOURCES AND METHODS Citation indexes were searched and 370 articles published from 1977 to 2013 were evaluated. The 31 selected studies included in the meta-analysis were cross-sectional in design. Among the 31 studies, 28 compared ...
متن کاملTumor-associated autoantibodies as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers
In the process of tumorigenesis, normal cells are remodeled to cancer cells and protein expression patterns are changed to those of tumor cells. A newly formed tumor microenvironment elicits the immune system and, as a result, a humoral immune response takes place. Although the tumor antigens are undetectable in sera at the early stage of tumorigenesis, the nature of an antibody amplification r...
