The serum concentrations of all-trans (atRA) and 13-cis (13cRA) retinoic acid were determined by high performance liquid chromatography in 27 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and in 80 healthy controls. This investigation seemed relevant as ethanol is an aetiological factor in these cancers and has been suggested to interfere with the synthesis of atRA. Neither the serum concentration of atRA nor that of 13cRA differed between patients and controls. The serum atRA concentration did not differ between fasting and non-fasting patients, but the serum 13cRA concentration was significantly higher in non-fasting than in fasting patients, probably due to the dietary retinoid content.
