“…4 Furthermore, aberrant glycosylation was first linked to cancer in 1978 where aberrant glycosylation patterns of α 1 -antitrypsin were discovered in lung, prostate, and gastrointestinal cancers. 5 Since then, numerous studies have provided evidence for the correlation between aberrant glycosylation and cancer, 6–11 and now, researchers believe that glycans may be possible candidates for sensitive and specific disease biomarkers. 12 Recent studies have supported these earlier findings demonstrating aberrant glycosylation in many different types of cancers, 13 including breast, 14–16 prostate, 17–18 liver, 19 ovarian, 20–24 pancreatic, 25 etc.…”
