OBJECTIVE
To study any possible association between serum ascorbic acid and uric acid levels with lung cancer.
METHODS
Serum ascorbic acid and uric acid levels in lung cancer patients (n = 30) and healthy controls (n = 45) were measured.
RESULTS
The mean values for serum ascorbic acid were found to be significantly lower (P< 0.05) in patients (0.112+/-0.020) than in controls (0.394+/-0.029). Serum uric acid levels of patients were also significantly lower than those of controls (P< 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
There was no association between serum levels of ascorbic acid and uric acid, cholesterol, triglyceride and albumin levels with lung cancer.
