Between 1986 and 1990 50 patients with ovarian cancer were submitted to a procedure which we called REGAJ - resection guided by antibodies. Using the radiolabeled murine monoclonal antibody OC 125, microscopic ovarian tumors producing CA 125 were detected during second-look surgery by a hand-held probe. Retrospective analysis after 10 years revealed that this procedure resulted in the cure of 4 of 11 patients, who would otherwise have been considered tumor free during second-look surgery and not further treated. Previous problems associated with the method can now be solved so that the clinical value of the procedure should be reconsidered.

Abstract Cancer immunotherapy including vaccine therapy is a promising modality for cancer treatment, but few patients show its clinical benefits currently. The identification of biomarkers that can identify patients who will benefit from cancer immunotherapy is thus important. Here, we investigated the potential utility of the circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) integrity—a ratio of necrotic cell-derived, longer DNA fragments versus apoptotic cell-derived shorter fragments of Alu gene—as a biomarker of vaccine therapy for patients with ovarian cancer. We analyzed plasma samples from 39 patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer enrolled in clinical trials for personalized peptide vaccinations. We observed that (1) the cfDNA integrity was decreased after the first cycle of vaccination, and (2) the decreased levels of cfDNA integrity were correlated with vaccine-induced immune responses; i.e., decreased cfDNA integrity was observed in 91.7% and 59.3% of the IgG-positive and negative patients, respectively (p = 0.0445). Similarly, decreased cfDNA integrity was observed in 92.9% and 56.0% of CTL response-positive and negative patients, respectively (p = 0.0283). These results suggest that the circulating cfDNA integrity is a possible biomarker for cancer vaccine therapy.
