Targeted glycosylation: a new way to develop cancer drugs Cancer is a deadly disease that contains many cell mutations
.

Among them, changes in glycosylation have been proven to be reliable markers of cancer, and most biomarkers are used for clinical detection of cancer-related glycans
.

Although polysaccharides have obvious potential as therapeutic targets, they have been neglected in drug discovery strategies
.

The complexity of the glycosylation process and the lack of special methods to study the glycosylation process have long hindered the progress in this field
.

However, the latest advances in new methods such as glycoengineering and high-throughput screening (HTS) have opened up new avenues for drug development
.

The team of Catarina Gomes and Celso A.
Reis from the University of Porto in Portugal published an opinion article, conceiving that glycan targeted therapy has the potential to open a new era of cancer treatment, and discussing the use of cancer-related glycosylation for the development of effective cancer drugs Prospects
