Abstract
Serum concentrations of Se were determined in 37 patients with cervical and 64 patients with endometrial cancer. The patients had lower (P < 0.001) serum concentrations of Se than the age-, weight- and place of residence-matched paired control women. There was no difference in the Se concentration between various age groups or different clinical stages of cervical or endometrial cancer. A low serum concentration of Se might be a contributing factor in uterine carcinogenesis.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
