Abstract:
In the recent quick development of cancer diagnostic methods, attention of researchers is focused onto tumor-derived compounds as possible markers of neoplasia. In this article we have reviewed researchers' opinions about sialic acid as a tumor marker. According to majority of researchers, blood sialic acid may be regarded as a useful marker for a variety of cancers although its specificity is not high.
