Abstract
Lipids have a key role in the maintenance of cell integrity. Hypolipidemia is related with increased risk of cancer and mortality. Elevated calcium and alkaline phosphatase has also been seen in cancer patients having metastasis. Alteration in serum proteins also has been reported. Hence present study was undertaken in 100 histopathologically confirmed head and neck cancer patients, in Department of Pathology Gandhi Medical College Bhopal, after taking informed written consent and ethical clearance. Lipid Profile, Serum Calcium, Alkaline Phosphatase, Serum Protein with Albumin were estimated and compared with age and sex matched healthy controls. Statistical analysis was done using chi square test. Total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDLC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDLC), Very low density lipoprotein- cholesterol (VLDLC) all decreased in head & neck cancer patients. Hypercalcemia was seen in 35% of patients. Raised Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was seen in 8 % cancer patients. Serum calcium was found to be increasing with advancing stage. Further studies should be carried out in large number of patients to confirm the role of these parameters with special attention to modifiable ones and their relation with staging and grading of cancer, which can be used as prognostic markers.
