[OA-32] Analysis of tissue zinc levels in breast cancer subtypes

Our previous study has been discovered that the zinc levels were significantly higher in the surrounding normal breast tissue compared to the invasive breast carcinoma (IBC) tissue. The objective of this study was to quantitatively analyse tissue zinc levels in molecolar subtypes of IBC. Zinc concentrations were evaluated in 45 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections of IBC by the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) method. ...
