Overview
Some patients with oral cancer may have elevated liver function tests, abnormal urea and electrolyte measurements, or elevated calcium levels. Serum ferritin, alpha-antitrypsin, and alpha-antiglycoprotein levels may be increased in high-stage cancer of the oral cavity, while those at any stage of disease have increased haptoglobin levels. Prealbumin levels are decreased slightly in persons at any stage.
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of oral cancer include:
- Liver function tests may be elevated in liver metastasis.
- Complete blood cell count and hemoglobin values may be decreased.
- Abnormal urea and electrolyte measurements.
- Serum calcium level may be elevated, which is a poor prognostic indicator.
- Serum ferritin, alpha-antitrypsin, and alpha-antiglycoprotein levels may be increased in high-stage cancer of oral cavity, while those at any stage of disease have increased haptoglobin levels.
- Prealbumin levels are mildly decreased in individuals at any stage.
