Evaluation of haematological parameters as a risk factor for head and neck cancer
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is a major health problem, accounting for 30-40% cancers at all sites. As various substances alter quantitatively in the serum during tumour development, we intended to explore the changes in the haematological profile in cases of HNSCC. Moreover, such studies on HNSCC patients are scanty in the North Coastal Andhra Pradesh, India. The present study is all about assessing the variations of haematological parameters in HNSCC patients. Biochemical characterization was done using standard protocols. Results were statistical analysed using Graph pad prism 7 software. Our study confirmed among different haematological parameters that there was no statistical significance found for serum creatinine, total bilirubin, haemoglobin, neutrophils, lymphocytes, haematocrit (PCV), Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH) and Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) and the statistical significance observed only for RBC count.
