Abstract

The role of glycosphingolipids in the expression of neoplastic phenotype. III. Alterations in glycosphingolipids of tumor cells related to their metastatic potential and tumorigenicity. This review describes changes in glycosphingolipids related to metastatic and tumorigenic properties of malignant cells. The possible effects of such alterations on malignant behavior of cells is discussed.
