چکیده
The stromal immunoglobulin kappa chain (IGKC) has been validated as an immunologic biomarker of prognosis and response to therapy in human breast cancer and other cancers. This validation emphasizes the key role of humoral immunity in control of cancer progression and has major implications for determining prognosis of patients with cancer.

Immunoglobulin kappa chain as an immunologic biomarker of prognosis and chemotherapy response in solid tumors
Infiltration of plasma cells is associated with better prognosis in breast, lung and colon cancer. Immunoglobulin κ chain (IGKC) is now available as a single, robust immune marker predicting metastasis-free survival and response to chemotherapy. This will facilitate a deeper understanding of the role of the humoral immune system in cancer development.
