“…In assessing the effect of chemotherapy or radiotherapy on trace elements, we observed that there was no signi cant difference in Fe, Se, and Zn levels between treated and untreated by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This was agreed with the studied results by Hasan 35 .…”

“…All observed elements did not show signi cant differences between the untreated and treated subjects. In investigating the chemotherapy effect on trace elements in blood serum, Hasan 35 showed that chemotherapy did not augment the rates of trace elements such as Zn, Fe, and Se. However, Ahmadi et al 36 indicated that the serum Zn and Fe levels in women after chemotherapy were signi cantly decreased (p < 0.001), while the serum level of copper increased but was not signi cant (p = 0.676).…”

Nails are considered as suitable biological materials for the diagnosis of diseases by measuring trace element levels. This study aimed to evaluate the role of trace elements in detecting the risk of colorectal cancer. Evaluating the effects of cancer treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy was also the aim of this study. The levels of trace elements in the nails of 104 patients with colorectal cancer and 112 healthy subjects were analyzed using the k0-standardization method of neutron activation analysis. The results showed that there were significant differences of the following elements, As, Fe, Hg, Sc, Se, and Zn between the control and the patient groups, while it was not the case for the elements Br, Co, and Cr. Furthermore, this study showed that there was no significant difference in the levels of the obtained trace elements in both colon and rectal cancer patient groups between untreated and treated subjects. We conclude that the levels of As, Hg, Fe, Se, and Zn in integrated samples of the fingernail and toenails may be used to evaluate the colorectal cancer risk, and they were not affected by chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

“…In addition, in line with our results, lower levels of Se have been found as a risk factor for breast and prostate cancer [ 37 , 38 ]. Selenium is known to have anticancer effects, but an excess of this element may lead to chronic diseases such as hepatitis [ 39 ]. The element can curb cancers by providing protection against damages to chromosomes [ 40 ].…”
