โœฆ Synopsis

Zinc in plasma and whole blood from 13 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck was significantly decreased, and the copper:zinc ratio in the plastna was significantly higher than in healthy controls.

The plasma zinc was significantly lower in patients who did not respond to therapy and who died within 12 months than in those who responded t o therapy and had a remission within 12-1 5 months. In patients responding t o therapy and alive after 12-15 months, zinc in the plasma and whole blood and the copper:zinc ratio became normal.

the plasma and whole blood and the copper:zinc ratio in squamous cell carcinoma o f the head and neck.

These results suggest a potential screening and predicting value of zinc in .
