Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Identification of protein profile differences between laryngeal cancers of<br /><br>young and elderly patients, by comparing differential expression of proteins in<br /><br>cancer and healthy tissue of the same patients, determined by Liquid<br /><br>Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectometry (LC-MS/MS) using the Orbitrap/qTOF mass<br /><br>analyzer.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
