Altered glycosylation is a common characteristic of tumor cells, leading to the formation of tumor-associated carbohydrates (TACA). In cancer, three common changes are often observed:

increased expression of Incomplete glycans / Truncated glycans,

increased branching of N-glycans, and

an augmented or altered presence of sialic acid-containing glycans.
