Summary The method used permits correction for the influence of the neutral hexoses, galactose and mannose, on the apparent concentration of protein-bound l-fucose, as estimated by the Dische-Shettles CyR3 reaction. The values thus obtained, together with the serum concentrations of neutral hexoses, were evaluated in a series of patients, 109 of whom had confirmed diagnoses of cancer. In patients sampled prior to definitive treatment, 89.2% (74 of 83) had elevated ratios of fucose to protein… Expand
