The serum glycoprotein TAG-72 level was determined in 34 patients with chronic laryngitis or ENT malignancy. This marker is in widespread use in cases of gynaecological and gastrointestinal malignancy. TAG-72 levels did not differ significantly either from the levels of healthy subjects or in the post-operative follow-up, so that this indicator appears to be of no clinical value in head and neck oncology.
