glycosylation and cancer

Glycosylation refers to the addition of sugar molecules to proteins and lipids, playing crucial roles in cellular communication and protein stability. In the context of cancer, dysregulated or altered glycosylation patterns are observed in cancer cells. These changes can affect various cellular processes, including cell adhesion, immune recognition, and signaling pathways, contributing to tumor growth, metastasis, and evasion of the immune system.
