In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The aim of the study is to determine the total concentration of selected trace elements (Cu, Zn, Fe), the proportion of free Cu and Cu bound to ceruloplasmin and the isotopic ratio of Cu65/Cu63 in blood serum samples from healthy volunteers and cancer patients using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry-based methods. The results will be statistically evaluated and the potential applications of the analytical methods used in cancer diagnosis and therapy will be assessed.
