Abstract
Cancer is a disease which leads to different systemic changes particul arly observed in blood. Plasma viscosity is one of the ways of evaluat ing such changes. A study of plasma viscosity in oral cancers indicate d the status of the disease. In cancer at advanced stage (stage IV), i t showed non-Newtonian behaviour. Very high viscosity of plasma at low shear was seen in the patients having poor prognosis.
