Abstract

NY-ES O-1 (CTAG 1B) is highly expressed in the majority of synovial sarcomas and myxoid/round cell liposarcomas as well as in a subset of melanomas, but only rarely in other mesenchymal tumors. This points to a potential for using NY-ES O-1 in the differential diagnosis of these lesions. Furthermore, promising results have been obtained in clinical trials testing NY-ES O-1-targeted immunotherapy in subsets of melanoma and synovial sarcoma patients.
