Evaluation of sialyl Lewis(a), sialyl Lewis(x), and sialyl Tn antigens expression levels as predictors of recurrence after curative surgery in node-negative colorectal cancer patients.

Abstract

The UK national study of magnetic resonance imaging as a method of screening for breast cancer (MARIBS) is in progress. The study design, accrual to date, and related research projects are described. Revised accrual rates and expected recruitment are given. 15 cancers have been detected to date, from a total of 1236 screening measurements. This event rate and the tumour grades reported are compared with recent reports from other studies in women at high risk of breast cancer.
