Rajiv Puri | |
Background: Biochemical studies in evaluation of cancer have shown that various substances alter quantitatively in the serum during tumor development and are referred to as tumor markers. Hence; the present study was planned for assessing the serum lipid profile in patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Materials & methods: A total of 60 subjects were included in the present study. Among these 60 subjects, 20 subjects were of OSCC, 20 subjects with OSMF and 20 healthy controls. A self-framed questionnaire was framed for assessing the clinical and demographic details of all the subjects. Blood samples were taken from all the patients and were sent to laboratory for assessment of serum lipid profile. In the laboratory, auto-analyzer was used for assessment. Compilation of all the results were done in Microsoft excel sheet and were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: Significant results were obtained while comparing mean serum lipid profile among OSMF patients, OSCC patients and normal controls. Conclusion: Mean serum lipid profile is significantly altered in OSMF and OSCC patients. However; further studies are recommended.
