ABSTRACT
Increased levels of transition metals like iron, nickel, chromium, copper and lead are closely related to free radical generation, lipid peroxidation, formation of DNA-strand breaks, and tumour growth in cellular systems. In order to determine the correlation to malignant growth in humans, we investigated the accumulation of heavy metals in 8 healthy and 20 breast cancer biopsies by means of a standardized Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) methodology. A highly significant accumulation of iron (p < 0.0001), nickel (p < 0.00005), chromium (p <0.00005), zinc (p < 0.00001), cadmium (p < 0.005), mercury (p < 0.005), and lead (p < 0.05) was recorded in the cancer samples when compared to the control group. Copper and silver showed no significant differences to the control group whereas tin, gold, and palladium were not detectable in any biopsies.
