Abstract
In humans and experimental animals, serum levels of sialic acid-containing glycolipids are elevated 1.5 to 3 fold. A method is described whereby the ganglioside content is estimated on as little as 0.5 ml of serum or plasma. The procedure permits, based on the analysis of a single biochemical parameter, cancer detection applicable to a wide range of human and animal tumor types.
