Evaluation of serum beta 2-microglobulin in oral cancer.
Beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m) low molecular mass protein was measured in serum of normal subjects and in patients with oral cancer. There was a significant increase in beta 2-m levels in oral cancer patients. The possible role of beta 2-m as a biochemical parameter and its significance in oral cancer is discussed.
