title: [The assessment of beta 2-microglobulin concentration in blood serum in patients with radiotherapy-treated laryngeal carcinoma].
abstract: The authors present estimation of beta 2-microglobulin concentration in blood serum in patients suffering from laryngeal cancer treated with radiotherapy in the course of treatment and 3 years after. The initial concentration of beta 2-microglobulin in the blood serum was statistically significantly higher in comparison with the control group. A significantly higher initial concentration of beta 2-microglobulin was observed in the group of patients with the recurrence of cancer in relation to the group of patients without the recurrence of cancer both immediately and 3 years after radiotherapy.
