Expressions of MAGE-A10 and MAGE-A11 in breast cancers and their prognostic significance: a retrospective clinical study

Purpose Melanoma-associated antigens-A (MAGE-A) family is a group of well-characterized cancer/testis antigens (CTA), because they are strictly tumor specific and are shared by many kinds of tumors. However, the expression pattern of MAGE-A10 and MAGE-A11 in breast cancer patients is still unclear. The purpose of our study is to investigate the expression pattern and prognostic significance of MAGE-A10 and MAGE-A11 in breast cancer patients.
