Estimation of Serum Beta 2-Microglobulin Levels in Individuals Exposed to Carcinogens: Clinical Study in Indian Population

Abstract: Aim The aim of the study is to evaluate the prognostic value of b2-m as a biochemical parameter for the diagnosis and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Materials and Methods The study included 60 patients (15 oral SCC, 15 leukoplakia, 15 individuals exposed to various carcinogens and without oral cancerous or precancerous lesions, 15 healthy individuals). The levels of b2-m were estimated using chemi-luminescent immunometric assay on Immulite fully automated machine. Statistical analysis of the … Show more

“…Therefore, its application as a diagnostic fluid can be of special significance. Saliva is a diagnostic tool to assess markers due to its several advantages: a low-cost tool for monitoring, safe collection, non-invasive, convenient, simple and reproducible without causing discomfort for the patient [16][17][18].…”

“…The increased production of B2M by carcinoma cells compared to non-neoplastic cells may be due to increased cell synthesis, breakdown, or both 19 . B2M levels have been reported to be significantly increased in individuals exposed to carcinogens, having premalignant conditions, at different stages of oral cancer and histological differentiation, when compared with healthy controls [20][21][22] . However, it has been shown that serum B2M is a superior diagnostic tool when compared to B2M level in saliva for OSCC 23 .…”
