- Abstract
Background: The metastatic potential of tumors is dependent on the cell to cell adhesion by cell surface carbohydrate antigens. Thus, expression of sialyl Lewisa, which is one of the important molecules of cell surface carbohydrates, may serve as a prognostic marker of aggressive and metastasizing tumor growth. However, the prognostic value of sialyl Lewisa expression in colon cancer is still controversial.
