Assessment of bone profile and Liver Enzymes among molecular subtypes breast cancer patients
Abstract
Background: Some serum biochemical parameters may be used as prognostic markers of breast cancer; these are studied broadly, but not studied yet in Sudan.
Objective: in this study, we aimed to assess calcium, phosphate, Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) among hormone breast cancer subtypes.
Methods: In a comparative cross‑sectional 178 BC patients, ages ranging from 28 to 95 were randomly selected. Bone minerals and liver enzymes were measured using Mindray-BS-480 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer.
Results: In total, 30.3% were triple negative, were 69.7 % hormone receptor-positive, and 52.8% out of total was in the late stage. T. test analyses show a significant difference in GGT between triple-negative and hormone receptor-positive and also between late stage and early stage (P = 0.017 and 0.016, and 0.018), respectively.
Conclusion: Hormone receptor-positive and late-stage BC patients have increased GGT activity.
