Özet

Objective: Lung cancer is among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Many exogenous and endogenous factors are associated with the development and progression of this cancer. Among these factors are trace elements, which have many biological functions despite their low concentrations in the body and may disrupt cellular functions and contribute to tumorigenesis when present in excessive or insufficient quantities. in this study, we performed elemental analysis of lung cancer tissues to evaluate the role of trace element concentrations in the formation of metastasis in lung cancer.
