serum her2 level in epithelial ovarian cancer
introduction : the proto-oncogene her2 plays a key role in the control of cellular proliferation. its overexpression has been reported to be associated with a poor prognosis in cancer, particularly in breast cancer. materials and methods : in the present study, serum her2 levels were investigated in patients diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer. serum her2 levels were detected by an elisa c...
متن کاملRelationship between serum copper & ceruloplasmin level and dependence on sample
The correlation between the serum level of copper and ceruloplasmin was determined among sarcheshmeh copper workers and compared with Kerman blood bank diners samples. Serum copper was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and ceruloplasmin was determined by a caloric enzymatic assay. The concentration of serum copper in the test group was 93+_20.4 mg/ DL which was significantly lower...
متن کاملPeritoneal tuberculosis with elevated serum CA 125 level mimicking advanced ovarian carcinoma in an adolescent.
Differential diagnosis between tuberculous peritonitis and peritonitis carcinomatosis is extremely difficult in patients with ascites, peritoneal implants and elevated CA 125 level. A 16-year-old girl presented with abdominal distention, intermittent fever and weight loss. Physical examination and radiologic studies revealed massive ascites, generalized peritoneal thickening and slightly enlarg...
متن کاملSerum levels of Copper, Zinc and Copper/Zinc Ratio in Patients with Ovarian Cancer
Objective: To investigate the serum concentrations of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and copper/zinc ratio (Cu/Zn) in patients with ovarian cancer and benign ovarian lesions. Methodology: The study included 50 patients, with ovarian cancer (malignant group) and 50 patients with benign ovarian lesions (benign group). After overnight fasting, blood samples were collected. The concentrations of Cu and Zn ...
متن کاملRegulation of copper transporter 2 expression by copper and cisplatin in human ovarian carcinoma cells.
Down-regulation of copper transporter 1 (CTR1) reduces uptake and sensitivity, whereas down-regulation of CTR2 enhances both. Cisplatin (DDP) triggers the rapid degradation of CTR1 and thus limits its own accumulation. We sought to determine the effect of DDP and copper on the expression of CTR2. Changes in CTR1 and CTR2 mRNA and protein levels in human ovarian carcinoma 2008 cells and ATOX1(+/...
