| Core Tip |
We have previously reported that the cancer/testis antigen Kita-Kyushu lung cancer antigen-1 (KK-LC-1) is frequently expressed in gastric cancer (GC), with high expression observed in multiple GCs. Therefore, as a preliminary study, we investigated the relationship between KK-LC-1 expression and multiple GCs, focusing on its potential clinical utility. In the middle and lower stomach regions, KK-LC-1 expression was significantly associated with older age, differentiated histological type, and the presence of multiple cancers, with all cases in the multiple cancer group exhibiting KK-LC-1 positivity (100%). KK-LC-1 expression in primary gastric tumors suggests a higher risk of subsequent development of multiple GCs. |
