Abstract :

 

BACKGROUND: The changes in lipid profile have long been associated with cancer. Recent advances in the field of biologic science have sparked new interest in the areas of identifying cancer biomarkers in the bodily fluids.

AIMS: The present study evaluated alterations in plasma lipid profile in patients with premalignant and malignant lesions of Head & Neck region.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This clinical study was conducted in our institution for 2 years.Total of 100 patients, 50 with PM & 50 with M lesions were randomly selected from out–patient visiting the Department of ENT, Head & Neck Oncology, Oral Medicine & Radiology. Plasma lipids: (i) Total cholesterol (ii)LDL cholesterol (iii)HDL cholesterol (iv)VLDL cholesterol and (v)Triglycerides analysed.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Student’s t–test was performed to compare mean values of the parameters.

RESULTS: Serum lipids were in normal range in PM and M group and no statistical significant difference between P values when compared.
