Brief summary
The main aim of the research project will be to evaluate indicators of prooxidant-antioxidant balance, adrenal cortex and medullary hormones, and growth factors in patients diagnosed and treated at the Department of Laryngology. Patients with a diagnosed tumor (benign or malignant) of the parotid glands after histopathological verification and computed tomography (CT) have been qualified for surgical treatment in the Department of Laryngology. Blood for biochemical tests will be collected twice, i.e. before surgery and after surgery (after 10 days). The research complements existing scientific information, among other valuable diagnostic information and guidance for postoperative management in patients after removal of benign or malignant tumors.
Interventions
The subject of the planned research is the evaluation of selected biochemical markers in blood in patients of the Department of Laryngology and Clinic of Laryngology of the Silesian Medical University in Katowice. Patients with diagnosed tumours (benign or malignant) of the parotid glands after prior histopathological verification and computed tomography (CT) were qualified for surgical treatment (superficial parotidectomy - complete removal of the superficial lobe of the parotid gland with pres
The subject of the planned research is the evaluation of selected biochemical markers in blood in patients of the Department of Laryngology and Clinic of Laryngology of the Silesian Medical University in Katowice. Patients with diagnosed tumours (benign or malignant) of the parotid glands after prior histopathological verification and computed tomography (CT) were qualified for surgical treatment (superficial parotidectomy - complete removal of the superficial lobe of the parotid gland with preservation of the facial nerve) in the Department of Laryngology. Blood for biochemical tests will be collected twice, i.e. before and after surgery (after 10 days). The material for testing (whole blood) will be provided by the Department of Laryngology to the Biochemistry Laboratory.
