“…In order to further confirm the superiority of our method, this sensor was used to determine Cu 2+ in complexed biology samples. As is known to all, the concentration of Cu 2+ is significantly increased in ascite fluid caused by ovarian cancer, which can even be 10-fold higher when compared to that of the normal . Similarly, it is reported that the concentration of Cu 2+ in urine of a cirrhotic patient will be remarkably increased .…”

“…These results are in line with previous data that suggest T1-relaxation rates (1/T1) of ascites are linearly proportional to protein content in non-malignant cases 7 . In contrast to non-malignant ascites, where paramagnetic ions are only marginally present 15 , higher concentrations of iron can be found in malignant ascites due to secondary iron overload. As the paramagnetic contribution of iron increases relaxation 7 , this phenomenon is expected to increase the ability to separate malignant and non-malignant ascites by means of T1-mapping.…”

“…Various studies on systemic malignancies have also demonstrated increased levels of ceruloplasmin in cases of cancer as compared to that of the healthy controls. These studies are ofPasha et al (2014) for brain cancer,Taysi et al (2003) for laryngeal cancer,Ozyilkan et al (1991) for breast cancer,Nayak et al (2003) for colon and prostate cancer,Doustjalali et al (2006) for nasopharyngeal cancer, and Jeong et al (2008) for uterine cervix cancer. The increase in ceruloplasmin levels in premalignancies and in various malignancies is an indicator of body's antioxidant defense mechanism.…”
