Sialic acid in cervical carcinoma patients.
Qualitative and quantitative determination of sialic acid has been made in normal and cancer cervix tissue. Both types of cervix tissue contain only one type of sialic i.e. N-acetylneuraminic acid. Serum of normal and cancer cervix bearing patients have also only N-acetylneuraminic acid. Regarding quantitative analysis the normal cervix has a value seven times greater than the cancer cervix tissue.
