Abstract
Serum concentrations of selenium were determined in 37 patients with cervical and 64 patients with endometrial cancer. The patients had lower (P less than 0.001) serum concentrations of selenium than the age-, weight- and place of residence-matched paired control women. There was no difference in the selenium concentration between various age groups or different clinical stages of cervical or endometrial cancer. A low serum concentration of selenium might be a contributing factor in uterine carcinogenesis.Entities:
