Background. The level of expression of H/Le(y)/Le(b) antigens is high in various histologic types of lung cancer, a feature that may be related to deletion of A and B blood-group antigens. We evaluated the possibility that expression of this antigen, which can be defined by the monoclonal antibody MIA-15-5, might be of prognostic value, as suggested by our previous observation that MIA-15-5 inhibits tumor-cell motility and metastasis.Methods. We used MIA-15-5 to stain tissue sections from 149 patients with primary lung cancer whose clinico-pathological histories were well documented. The survival curves for patients whose tumors stained positively were compared with the curves for those whose tumors stained negatively. Multivariate analyses were performed with a Cox proportional-hazards regression model.Results. Among the 149 patients studied, five-year survival in the 91 patients with MIA-positive tumors was significantly lower than survival in the 58 with MIA-negative tumors (20.9 percent vs. 58.6 percent, P
