Abstract

The recent literature contains numerous studies of glycolipids and glycoproteins of tumor cells. Diverse changes in chemical composition and/or organization have been found in tumor cells of various sources: chemical and viral transformation in vitro and tumor tissues in vivo.1,2 They have incited wide interest although little is known about their exact biological significance. Theoretically, they may lead to an understanding of some essential problems, such as the malignant behavior of tumor cells and the role of gene mutation in the development of cancer. In addition, their practical potentialities as tumor markers has also been extensively explored.
