  Background: Breast cancer is a major source of public health concern. Our work aims to study the role of oxidative stress in breast pathophysiology. Materials & Methods: A group of 39 patients diagnosed and treated for breast cancer was followed in a prospective, observational, nonrandomized study to assess the serum oxidative stress levels. Thus, the following parameters were determined: Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration as a measure of lipid peroxidation reaction, serum thiol concentration as end products of oxidative degradation of proteins, and total level of antioxidants. Results: 81.9% of these patients have an excess of adipose tissue (overweight or obesity). A positive correlation was obtained between the serum peroxides values and obesity as measured by Body Mass Index (BMI) (p<0.01) and waist circumference (p<0.0.. Read More»
