Serum Lipid Profile, its comparison & analysis in patients with Oral Cancer & Potentially Malignant Disorder – A Clinico Pathological Study

Abstract

Oral cancer (OC) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality due to cancer in India and is most commonly preceded by clinically definable premalignant lesions and conditions. The present study analyzed the serum lipid profile in oral PMDs and OC to determine if detectable changes occur in these with respect to the normal levels and whether these changes could be utilized as diagnostic markers in such cases.
