Abstract

This study provides evidence that, in Caucasian patients with NSCLC, highly prevalent expression patterns of TAA genes, predominantly of overexpressed TAAs, do exist. This result implies that the combined use of these TAA could help in designing more effective NSCLC immunotherapeutic protocols.
