Patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated with this investigational agent, also known as an Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic (ASCI),</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.licr.org/C_news/archive.php/2008/02/04/resisting-lung-cancer-recurrence/">Cancer vaccines have two principal components. One component, the ‘adjuvant,’ stimulates the immune system in a general way, and the other component, the ‘tumor antigen’ — in this case, the MAGE-A3 antigen — directs the immune response specifically against the cancer cell. Last month, another LICR-sponsored clinical trial within the Cancer Vaccine Collaborative showed that a cancer vaccine based on the tumor antigen NY-ESO-1 stimulated an immune response in women with ovarian cancer. The results from that trial were suggestive that a similar boost strategy could be beneficial for long-term immunological memory in that disease also.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/ECD3AB66-3239-4FA6-8ED5-D26776746230/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
