Abstract

This study included (70) patient women with breast cancer whose age groups have ranged form (20) to (65) years and body mass index (32 – 20) kg/m2 for a period ranging from 1 month to 4 years. Also, it included (40) healthy women with traits compatible with those of the experimental group. The study has been carried out during the period extending from October, 2011 to November, 2012 in Ramadi Hospital.

Results have indicated a significant increase (P≤0.05) in Cu (84.9±27µg/dl) ( 106.5±38.1µg/dl) and Fe (96.6±38.1 µg/dl) (126.3±34.5 µg/dl), significant decrease (P≤0.05) in Albumin (4.21± 0.53g/dl( (3.7±0.67g/dl) , GSH (16.7+ 2.6 µmol/L) ) 4.47+ 0.89 µmol/L) and Zn )78 ± 24 µg/dl) (60 ± 24 µg/dl( in the blood serum of patient women in comparison with the control group.
