Core Tip	The Kitakyushu lung cancer antigen-1 (KK-LC-1) is a relatively later cancer-testis antigen and has received interest because it was reported that KK-LC-1 is a predominant antigen for cancer immunotherapy. We found that the expression rate of KK-LC-1 in gastric cancer was 79.5%, which was higher than that of other cancer-testis antigens and the same as that in both early- and late-stage patients. KK-LC-1 is a potential biomarker for early detection of gastric cancer and identification of patients at high risk for gastric cancer. Furthermore, KK-LC-1 is a potential target for immunotherapy in gastric cancer.
