Abstract:
A relationship between blood antioxidant status in patients with cervical tumors (T3NxM0) and size of primary tumor has been investigated. Enzymatic and non-enzymatic components of antioxidant defenses were most severely damaged in cases of large tumors which suggested a specific suppression of adaptation systems by malignancies. These findings make a case for further research in antioxidant therapy for cervical carcinoma with due consideration of pathogenetic features of tumor disease.
