Abstract
A study of 30 patients with biopsy proven carcinoma of head and neck were taken and serum levels of CEA, LDH and PHI was estimated before treatment and 3 months post treatment. 30 patients were taken as controls for comparison. Pre- and past-treatment levels were statistically compared and the role of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy compared. Variation with metastasis and with smoking was also evaluated.
