Abstract
Diverse carbohydrate (glycan) structures are located on lipids and proteins that cover the surface of human cells known as the glycocalyx. Research over many decades have illustrated that the glycan structures located in the glycocalyx change dramatically with cancer contributing to the early development and progression of tumors. New therapeutic and diagnostic applications for cancers based on targeting glycan changes are now in development and in early stage clinical trials. There is an abundance of research for ovarian cancer indicating that certain glycoproteins and glycolipids play major roles in the progression, recurrence, and chemoresistance of this disease. This review is focused on discussion of these biomarkers and how translational medicine for ovarian cancer can be further defined focusing on targeting glycans, glycoproteins, and glycan-mediated interactions.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Cancer Research (ACR) has covered a remarkable period of discovery that encompasses the beginning of the revolution in biology.
Advances in Cancer Research (ACR) has covered a remarkable period of discovery that encompasses the beginning of the revolution in biology. The first ACR volume came out in the year that Watson and Crick reported on the central dogma of biology, the DNA double helix. In the first 100 volumes are found many contributions by some of those who helped shape the revolution and who made many of the remarkable discoveries in cancer research that have developed from it.
