Prostate Cancer Biomarkers
Increasing levels
- Increased core fucosylation and increase a2,3-sialic acid compared with BPH patients serum.
- G0 significantly increased and G1 and α2-6 syalilation decreased in the IgG heavy chains of patients with prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer Biomarkers
Decreasing levels
- Decreased sialylation of PSA subforms in seminal plasma.
- Poor prognosis is associated with decreased levels of fucosylated glycans and increased levels of sialylated compounds.
