The Role of Neopterin and Interleukin-6 Detection in Saliva and Plasma in Oral and Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients: A Prospective Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives The incidence of oral and oropharyngeal cancer is continually rising and affects increasingly younger patients. Consequently, many studies focus on early diagnosis using appropriate biomarkers. Neopterin and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) are promising predictive and prognostic markers of immune response activation, both systemic and local ...
