The prognostic value of the immunohistochemical expression of Sialyl Tn antigen (STn) was evaluated in 242 patients with gastric carcinoma. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens of gastric adenocarcinomas were stained with the monoclonal antibody C 1282, produced by immunization with ovine sub

## Background: 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 surviv
Background. Several studies have revealed a correlation between sialosyl Tn antigen (STN) and certain clinicopathologic features of various cancers, and that STN is an independent prognostic factor. However, the clinical significance of the expression of STN in gastric cancer has not been reported.
