Serum lipid peroxide in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients and its clinical significance

Serum lipid peroxides [LPO] was estimated in 39 normal subjects and equal number of patients of nasopharyngeal carcinoma [NPC] by thiobarbital acid [TEA] colorimeric method. The LPO level of NPC group was significantly higher [P < 0.01] than in normal patients. It appears that there is a close relationship between LPO and NPC. The raised LPO may be helpful in the dignosis of NPC
