Frequent high-level expression of the immunotherapeutic target Ep-CAM in colon, stomach, prostate and lung cancers.

TL;DR: The data strongly support the notion that Ep-CAM is a prime target for immunotherapies in major human malignancies because the most common human cancers show a low frequency of Ep- CAM-negative tumours, a high frequency of epithelial cell adhesion molecule expression on cells of a given tumour, and for most cancers, an insignificant influence of tumour staging, grading and histology.
