Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis through Quantitative Measurements of Serum Glycan Profiles

Abstract
Background: Glycosylated proteins play important roles in cell-to-cell interactions, immunosurveillance, and a variety of receptor-mediated and specific protein functions through a highly complex repertoire of glycan structures. Aberrant glycosylation has been implicated in cancer for many years.
