Özet

Introduction: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality. There are many exogenic and endogenic factors associated with the development of lung cancer. One of these factors is trace elements. Under- or overabundance of trace elements can disrupt cellular functions and lead to the formation of cancer. In this study we conducted elemental analysis of lung cancer tissue and normal lung tissue to investigate the role of tissue trace element concentrations in lung cancer.
