ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We conducted this study to study the clinical correlation between the characteristics of gastric cancer and serum selenium and zinc levels. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The following data were measured in the baseline serum selenium and zinc levels of 74 patients with curative gastrectomy subsequent to confirmed gastric cancer, from March 2005 to August 2012.RESULTS:
Among the 74 gastric cancer patients, 53 patients were male. Mean serum selenium and zinc levels were 118.7+/-33.1 ug/L and 72.2+/-24.3 ug/dl, respectively. Seven patients (9.5%) showed lower selenium level, and 33 patients (44.6%) showed lower zinc level. Serum Selenium level was 99.1+/-31.8 ug/L in cardia cancer group (10 cases) and 121.8+/-32.4 ug/L in non-cardia cancer group (64 cases)(P=0.044). According to tumor gross type, zinc level was 78.7+/-29.6 ug/dl in early gastric cancer (33) and 66.9+/-17.8 ug/dl in advanced gastric cancer (41) (P=0.064).CONCLUSIONS:
The serum selenium level was highly correlated with the location of gastric cancer. The serum zinc level was lower in advanced gastric cancer.
