Distribution of trace metal concentrations in paired cancerous and non-cancerous human stomach tissues

Abstract: In contrast to the literature data for Cu and Fe, the concentrations of copper, iron and nickel in cancerous tissue samples are higher than those in the non-cancerous samples. Furthermore, the Ca levels are lower in cancerous tissue samples than in non-cancerous tissue samples.

“…Any shift toward non-favorable concentrations will disrupt the metal homeostasis, causing severe damage at the cellular level. 2 In comparison to normal tissues, many types of tumors have elevated levels of copper and zinc, both of which are known to contribute to the process of carcinogenesis. 3 Such tumors include breast, cervical, ovarian, lung, prostate, stomach and leukemias.…”

“…Another metal, Cd, has been reported to inhibit thyroid function and induce thyroid dysfunction (Buha et al 2013;Gupta et al 1997;Gupta and Kar 1999). Furthermore, there is literature data supporting the hypothesis that the direct influence of toxic heavy metals, for example manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), and Zn, on thyrocytes plays a role in thyroid cancer etiology (Yaman et al 2007). …”
