Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the eighth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the developed world and has one of the worst prognoses of any malignancy with 98% succumbing to their disease within 5 years. Little is known about the etiology of the disease despite significant new insights into the mutation signatures common this disease. Changes in microelements serum levels are reported in pancreatic cancer. In the current study we have examined the levels of Se, Cu, Fe, Zn and Mg in a moderately sized pancreatic cancer population and compared it to a healthy age-matched population.
