OSCC was found to have association with low serum iron level. More patients were found to be with significantly lower iron content in serum (p&lt0.05). But no association between serum TIBC and increased risk of cancer was found (p&gt0.05). Irrespective of age, sex, smoking and betel nut chewing habit of subjects, low serum iron level significantly increase the risk of oral malignancy.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology}, author={Hossain, Shakhawat and Molla, Motiur Rahman and Akhter, Mahmuda}, year={2007}, month={Jun.}, pages={49–54} }
