The alterations of carbohydrate chains in cancer cell membrane can be related, not only to the formation of tumor-associated antigens, but also to cell biologic significance. There is, furthermore, a possibility of their relationship to tumor metastatic behavior and subsequent survival of patients with cancer. Recent clinical studies elucidated that a carbohydrate antigen, sialyl Lex, is a useful tumor marker in colorectal cancer. However, the sialyl Lex antigen immunoreactivity in colorectal carcinoma in relation to patient survival is unknown. The aim of the study was to elucidate whether sialyl Lex expression in tumors was correlated with patient survival.
