Background: Breast cancer has recently become one of the most obsessing and life threatening issues in the world. Globally, females suffered mostly by breast cancer. Breast cancer is multifactorial etiological disorder. Trace elements are acts as cofactors and biological catalyst. They play a very essential role in the metabolic pathways. Methods: A cross sectional study with two hundred (200) subjects and divided into two groups. 50 females were normal healthy as a control while 150 females were patient with breast cancer. Blood was collected from all participant after taking history, clinical data, mammographic and histopathological findings. Consent and predesign porforma were filled by all participants of study. The trace elements (Na, K, Zn, Fe, Ca) were determined through atomic absorption spectrophotometer (ASS) and other biochemical analysis such as Total Protein, serum albumin and Total cholesterol were analyzed on Micro Lab.300. Data was entered on SPSS 22.0 version, and applied student t-test for continuous variables. Results were analyzed as Mean and standard deviation. Results: The results of serum Na+, K+, Ca++, Zn++, Cu++ and Fe in breast cancer patient were observed and found significantly fluctuated in breast cancer patients as compared to normal healthy subjects. Serum Total Protein significantly increased whereas serum Albumin decreased in patient with breast cancer. Conclusions: in Present study we found significantly abnormal concentration of Na+, K+, Ca++, Zn++, Cu++ and Fe in breast cancer these elements may contribute in early diagnosis of breast cancer. Increased body weight and total cholesterol are also risk factors of Ca breast. |
