Serum and tumour ferritins in primary liver cancer.

Serum and tumour ferritins in primary liver cancer.

Serum ferritin concentrations were found to be raised, often considerably, in 58 of 76 black patients with primary liver cancer (PLC). No correlation could be demonstrated between the serum ferritin concentration and several other measurements, including the following: hepatic iron stores measured chemically, the size of the tumour, serum transaminase values, and the presence or absence of cirr...

Serum Metabolomics and Liver Cancer Title: Serum Metabolomics and Liver Cancer Translational Relevance Serum Metabolomics and Liver Cancer

1 Purpose: Metabolomics depicts metabolic changes in biological systems using a 2 multiparametric analysis technique. This study assessed the metabolomic profiles of 3 serum, obtained by proton NMR spectroscopy, from cirrhotic patients with and without 4 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Experimental Design: The study included 154 5 consecutive patients with compensated biopsy-proven alcoholic ci...

Serum Liver proteins and 17β-estradiol in Postmenopausal Women with Breast Cancer

Background: Breast cancer is a hormone-dependent malignancy that is associated with estrogen and progesterone interactions. The liver is the most important organ to be affected by the metastasis of breast cancer, which causes functional impairment. We compared levels of obesity, 17β-estradiol, and secreted proteins in postmenopausal women with breast cancer but without hepatic symptoms to those...
