摘要: The copper and zinc levels in 53 malignant 47 normal human tissue samples were measured. In the tissues, mean concentration was 46% higher (P less than 0.001) ones. Analysis of individual organs showed this increment to be statistically significant malignancies large bowel, stomach, urinary bladder female reproductive organs, while cancer breast, kidney testis, increase level not significant. tissues significantly different from that corresponding specimens (-11%; P 0.2). breast cancer, however, increased by 72% 0.01), decreased markedly carcinoma (-73%). A hypothesis for possible mechanism involving elevated biological damage (previously caused free radicals) which may responsible process, is presented discussed.
