YU lin, et al. Study on the relativity of level of serum ferritin to larynx cancer[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 2000,(1):58-59. DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.2000.01.020.
The Serum Ferritin (SF) levels in patients with laryngeal cancer (32 cases) and vocal cord polyp 20cases)
as well as in 25 normal persons were determined. The results were as follows: Serum Ferritin level in pateints with laryngeal cancer was much higher than in those with vocal cord polyp and in normal persons(P<0. 01 )
Meanwhile we have found that the increase in SF levels is related to clinical stage s and Icoal recurrences. It is concluded that SF level determination is helpful for the diagnosis of laryngeal cancer
as well as for the evaluation of a patient’s condition and effectiveness of therapy.
