Estimation of Serum Beta 2- microglobulin among newly diagnosed children with cancer in Basra
Journal Title: Journal of Radiology and Oncology - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Beta 2- micro globulin (β2-MG) is involved in human malignancies. Increased synthesis and release of β2-MG, as indicated by elevated serum, plasma, or urine β2-MG concentration, occurs in several malignant diseases. Objective: The study was designed to assess the role of serum Beta2- micro globulin in the support of the diagnosis of different types of pediatric malignancies.
