substances deviate from their normal values; these may include proteins
of body fluid. To verify this claim a prospective study was carried out
to investigate the values of plasma proteins in salivary fluids in patients
with primary brain tumors. This study had been conducted between September
2008 and July 2009 on 160 individuals. The qualified subjects for the
study included, 80 patients (40 from each sex) with primary brain tumor
and eighty age and sex normal subjects were used as control for salivary
and serum proteins measurements. Concentrations of proteins were found
higher in saliva and blood of male and female patients as compared with
normal individuals. These results might suggest possible preliminary detection
of primary brain tumor by observing the increase of protein concentration
in the saliva of the patient which is easily carried out in clinical laboratory.]]>Al-Rawi, N., A.W.R. Hamad and N.K. Al-Talabani, 2005173235Behin, A., K. Hoang-Xuan, A.F. Carpentier and J.Y.
