Results: Lung cancer patients compared to their matched controls had significantly higher mean serum iron level (p = 0.01), ferritin level (p = 0.007) and TIBC (p = 0.006). Analysis revealed that higher concentration of iron and ferritin (IVth quartile) compared to the lower concentration (Ist quartile) was associated with over 2-fold increased lung cancer incidence. We also found that higher transferrin saturation (p = 0.01) and lower TIBC (p<0.01) are associated with better survival of lung cancer patients. The analysis of polymorphisms in iron related genes did not reveal a significant difference between lung cancer patients and controls. However, rs10421768 in HAMP showed a borderline statistically significant correlation with lung cancer risk (OR = 2.83, p = 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this case control study indicate that higher body iron represented by higher Fe and ferritin levels may be associated with lung cancer incidence. Rs10421768 in HAMP may be associated with about 3-times higher lung cancer risk. Higher Fe body content may be associated with better survival of lung cancer patients]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 11:09:17 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44295 Wed 13 Mar 2024 08:55:55 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16965 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38119 0.003). Conclusions: Married women, unemployed and those with no formal education are less likely to participate in CC screening. The study details significant barriers to cervical cancer screening uptake in Ghana. It is recommended that the Ghana health services should develop appropriate, culturally tailored educational materials to inform individuals with no formal education through health campaigns in schools, churches and communities to enhance CC screening uptake.]]> Fri 03 Sep 2021 10:06:27 AEST ]]>
