Do autoimmune antibodies play a role in cancer immune surveillance?

The reasons why cancer develops, progresses, or becomes fatal in some people but not others remain largely unknown. Antibody repertoires, including autoantibodies that target immune pathways, may influence cancer immune surveillance. Mapping antibody landscapes in healthy, at-risk, and cancer-affected individuals could clarify their roles in cancer susceptibility and disease outcome.
