Lipid‐associated sialic acid, squamous cell carcinoma antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen, and lactic dehydrogenase levels as tumor markers in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Abstract

LASA appears to be a promising sensitive marker of SCCHN, followed in decreasing order of sensitivity by SCC-Ag, CEA, and LDH. Additional study to evaluate the specificity of LASA and its correlation with tumor response to therapy is warranted.
