Salivary Markers in Systemic and Oral Cancer

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Saliva in Health and Disease

Abstract

Saliva is one of the most valuable body fluids after blood. Although its function may seem to originally be confined to the local environment, the alterations in the salivary composition, quality and quantity, may reflect numerous pathologies and systemic diseases including cancer.
