Effect of Chemotherapy on Zn, Fe, Mg, Pb, Ca and Se in the Serum
Author(s): Hasan A Hasan A
Trace element concentrations in blood serum are very important in various carcinomas. However, the literature lacks in studies of the relationship between the trace element concentrations and cancer types. The present study analyzes blood serums from 40 patients with throat, stomach and lung cancers by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) after low-volume microwave digestion. 7 elements were investigated: Se, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Pb, and Zn. The elements were categorized into macro elements (Ca, Mg, K) and trace elements (Fe, Zn, Pb, Se) for human blood. The mixture of HClO4:HNO3:H2SO4 was selected for analyzing the trace elements in serums taken from cancer patients. The digested blood serums of pre-chemotherapy and post-chemotherapy were analyzed to investigate the effect of chemotherapy on amounts of trace elements.. View More»
