Autoantibodies in laryngeal cancer: detection and role as a biomarker.

Objective: Diagnostic role of autoantibodies (AAb) as serological biomarkers has not been specifically investigated in laryngeal cancer (LC) previously. The study investigates the presence of anti-LC AAbs and their potential as a biomarker for early diagnosis of LC, to improve patient outcome.

Method: Anti-LC AAb levels were investigated in LC patients (n = 30) and healthy individuals (n = 30) by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
