Abstract:

 Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common  disease  in the human body in both sex , male and female ,Trace  elements (TEs) like copper (Cu); zinc (Zn) and  iron (Fe)  have a vital  role in biological and  metabolic effects  including activation or inhibition of  enzymatic reaction, reactive oxygen species (ROS), competition between trace elements and metal proteins for binding positions and modifications in the permeability of cellular membranes which affect on cancers events.This  paper reviews measured  trace elemental concentrations of cancerous and noncancerous blood sample by drawing 5 ml of venous blood  from all patient and control (healthy persons) ,the serum was separated then used to measure  the  Zn,Cu and Fe. by using. a convenient colorimetric assay. The statistical significant association was determined, the p values is larger than 0.05  so the data  considered statistically significant ,and there is a difference in the levels of trace elements (Zn, Cu and Fe) in four groups ; the median  of Zn and Cu were highest in control group compared to the rest groups ,the median of  Fe is highest in benign group compared to the rest groups .
