title: Evaluation of serum fucose level in patients with oral cancer.
abstract: Serum fucose level was determined in 57 oral cancer patients and 25 normal persons before any treatment was performed. There was a significant rise in these levels in patients with oral cancer, and they correlated well with the clinical stages. This correlation is found to be exceedingly helpful in establishing the presence of and evaluating the extent of oral cancer.
