ABSTRACT
Total long-chain alcohols were analyzed in blood sera from normal individuals and patients with diagnosed breast cancer. Tetra-, hexa- and octadecan-1-ol were the major long-chain alcohols detected in both groups. While the qualitative composition of the serum alcohols was similar in the two groups the average alcohol content of the serum of the breast cancer patients was approximately six times greater than that of the normal group. This difference in serum alcohol levels between the two groups was significant at p less than 0.01.
