Background: Our aim was to examine the levels of glycoconjugates in plasma, erythrocyte membranes and buccal mucosa of healthy subjects and oral cancer patients. Subjects and methods: This study was conducted on 48 adult male oral cancer patients with various clinical stages (stage II to stage IV; 1...
