Oligosaccharide Markers for Prognosis of Low-Risk Breast Cancer

Abstract

The general goal of this study was to determine if there are specific combinations of oligosaccharide markers on ductal breast carcinoma cells that are useful in predicting the post surgical prognosis of low-risk node-negative breast cancer patients. A related goal was to define the expression of relevant glycosyltransferase genes that control the expression of unusual tumor-associated oligosaccharides found on breast cancer cells.
