Increased Lipids Levels and Breast Cancer
Abstract
Breast cancer is the top cancer in women both in the developed and the developing world. Metabolic heterogeneity may be present in all cancers. Dyslipidemia is independently associated with the development of breast cancer. The present study was carried out on serum samples from 100 breast cancer patients named study group and 100 similar age normal women named control group. Lipid pattern studies were carried out on study group and control group before any treatment. The serum samples so collected were examined for Total cholesterol (TC), High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and Triglyceride (TG) concentrations. In the study group the youngest patient was of 35 years old and oldest patient was of 83 years. Mean age was 58.41±11.01 years. In the control group, the youngest patient was of 30 years and oldest patient was of 80 years. TC, LDL, TG levels increased in all grades, which is similar in the of C-ERB-B2 positive status. Our study supports the relationship between increased lipid levels and breast cancer. However, there is a need for multiple center studies, including prospective, to be used as a marker.
