ABSTRACT |
|
Trace elements are naturally occurring
inorganic substance required in humans in amounts <100 mg/day. They
are essential components of biological structures and have an
important effect on and play a key role in a variety of the
processes necessary for life throughout mediate vital biochemical
reactions. Excessive levels, a level higher than needed for
biological functions, of these elements can be toxic for the body
health. Therefore, it has been found that the imbalances in the
optimum levels of trace elements may adversely affect biological
processes and are associated with many fatal diseases, such as
cancers. Recently, efforts have been focused to attempt to advance
understand of the relationship between heavy metal, trace elements,
and their role in cancers. Many studies indicated the remarkable of
specific elements that may be of value and may have prognostic
significance in the early diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy
evaluation of some diseases, especially various types of cancer. |
