title: [NY-ESO-1 and cancer immunotherapy].
abstract: NY-ESO-1 is an important member of cancer-testis antigen family and is widely distributed among many cancer types. As a tumor-specific antigen with the strongest immunogenicity so far identified, it can induce spontaneous antibody and T-cell responses in patients with NY-ESO-1-positive tumors. Therefore, it has been a good vaccine candidate in the immunotherapy against many malignancies. This article reviews the recent research advances in NY-ESO-1 and its relevant vaccines.
