Tn Thomsen-nouveau antigen, GalNAcα-Ser/Thr, STn sialyl-Tn antigen, Neu5Acα2–6GalNAcα -Ser/Thr. T Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen, Galβ1-3GalNAcα-Ser/Thr. N/D not determined, i.e. samples were not available for analysis.
The number of tumour cores classified as positive for Tn-, STn- or T-expression defined as (a) strong staining, (b) membranous accentuation and (c) >10 % of the tumour being strongly stained using IHC (before /) relative to the total number of tumour cores sampled (after /). The percentage of positive tumour cores is given in brackets. Bold values are aggregated results from all tumor core of a specific tumor type (e.g. “Breast cancer”) whereas results from tumor subclasses (e.g. “Medullary carcinoma”) are not bold.
