MAGEA expression level strongly associates with therapeutic response and patient prognosis in multiple cancers. Analysis of MAGEA expression in human gastric cancer (n = 152–875 patient samples, KM plotter database), non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) (n = 1926 patient samples, KM plotter database), breast cancer (n = 2976 patient samples, KM plotter database), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) (n = 177 patients, KM plotter database, n = 22–46 patients, our cohort), and on the basis of KM plotter database and our collected patient cohort. A–F Kaplan–Meier survival study of the MAGEA expression in human GC, NSCLC, BC and PDAC patients. Representative images of MAGEA IHC staining from tumor sections are given here. G–I Correlation studies between MAGEA expression and tumor size/enhanced cancer progression/lymph node metastases in PDAC patients. Means ± S.E.M are given. J–N The chemotherapy treated cancer patients with high MAGEA expression were associated with increased incidence of relapse or/and worse overall survival in gastric cancer (n = 152 patients, KM plotter database), breast cancer (n = 1195 patients, KM plotter database), NSCLC (n = 173 patients, KM plotter database) and PDAC patients (n = 22 patients, our cohort) respectively. A–D, F, K–N Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. G, I Student’s t test. H One-way ANOVA. J Chi-square test. Scale bar in (E) represents 100 μm
