Summary:The present invention concerns oligonucleotides, including antisense oligonucleotides, that are useful in the treatment of cancer, along with DNA encoding the same, vectors that contain such DNA, cells that express such DNA, pharmaceutical formulations containing the same, and methods of use thereof in the treatment of cancer. The present invention provides oligonucleotides that hybridizes to a nucleic acid that encodes a fucosyltransferase (FUT). The fucosyltransferase is preferably FUT3 or FUT6, along with vectors that contain the same. Pharmaceutical formulations that contain such oligonucleotides or vectors are also provided, along with methods of use thereof in the treatment of cancer.
