Abstract
The present invention provides methods for identifying oligosaccharides specific to cancer and methods for determining a strain of cancer in an individual. The present invention also provides methods for diagnosing cancer or a stage of cancer in an individual by detecting the presence or absence of specific cancer markers and methods for treating cancer by administering antibodies directed to such markers. In addition, the present invention provides cancer markers comprising O-linked oligosaccharides and kits for diagnosing or treating cancer.
