B. Sialic acid and carbohydrate patterns on surface glycoproteins
✓
C. Ability to synthesize pure long-chain fatty acids
D. Ribosomal RNA nucleotide base sequencing

📝 Explanation

Cancer cells alter their surface glycosylation profiles, which helps them evade immune detection and metastasize to other tissues.
