Journal Title: International journal of research -GRANTHAALAYAH - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5

Abstract

Cancer is a group of diseases in which cells are aggressive, invasive and sometimes metastatic. Nutritional status an important factor that contributes to immune competence for which trace minerals plays a crucial role in the biochemical and physiological activity of the system. Trace element a category of minerals essential for the biological system and plays an active role in immune effector mechanism. Normal range of iron essential for body metabolism, iron deficiencies leads to anemia which might complicate the event of tumor genesis. Study involved 50 volunteers (36 females, 14 males) of cancer patients of Mohan Nursing Home Madurai. Serum was collected in the informed consent of the patients. Serum iron level was quantified using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Study documented percentage deviation of serum iron concentration (85%) with severe anemic prevalence from the control individual (without cancer) and also establish an association of iron deficiency with anemic prevalence. Study documented the existence of Iron deficiency which is the most common cause of anemia worldwide. Iron plays a role in oxygen transfer in cytochromes, protein molecules involved in the production of energy in cells and also exhibit certain properties to facilitate antitumor status. Study concludes that serum iron modulations need to be emphasized to minimize the burdenization of the host with Clinical associated complications of Iron deficiency among patients with cancer.
