The goal of this study was to examine if there is any connection between enzymatic antioxidant system and larynx cancer staging. The levels of superoxide dysmutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase and glucoso-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were measured in blood of 28 larynx cancer patients. The results show that the activity of this system is lower in sick patients than in healthy control group. It was becoming lower group of patients with more advanced cancer.
