PREPARATION BASED ON AN ANTIBODY DIRECTED AGAINST A TUMOR-ASSOCIATED GLYCOSYLATION SUCH AS LEWIS STRUCTURES

摘要

The invention relates to the use of a preparation based on -an antibody directed against a tumor-associated glycosylation for preparing a medicament for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment for the reduction or inhibition, respectively, of the growth of tumor cells in a cancer patient, as well as to a pharmaceutical preparation containing an antibody directed against a tumor-associated glycosylation. Moreover, the invention relates to a preparation for pharmaceutical and/or diagnostic use, a diagnostic method and an agent for determining the risk of metastasis formation in a cancer patient, as well as a method of producing a preparation based on a body fluid or tissue, in each case using the antibody directed against a tumor-associated glycosylation.
