Abstract
Introduction: Cancer of breast is the leading cause of malignancy related death in women worldwide. Studies have shown plasma cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol are significantly elevated in carcinoma breast cases.
Keeping the above facts in mind, this work is an attempt to determine the alteration in serum cholesterol and lipoproteins due to breast cancer in women and their probable role in carcinogenesis.
Materials and Methods: An Observational Prospective study done in VIMSAR, Burla in Deptt. Of General Surgery from November 2017 to October 2019.Total number of patients taken were 50.
Discussion: High levels of total serum lipid and low density lipoprotein was found in both pre and postmenopausal women suffering from breast cancer.
Conclusion: In women with high levels of total cholesterol (T-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C); the breast screening tests may detect carcinoma breast in its infancy.
Keywords: Plasma cholesterol , Low density lipoprotein cholesterol, Carcinoma Breast.
