Distribution of Ca, Fe, Cu and Zn in primary colorectal cancer and secondary colorectal liver metastases
Abstract
A microbeam synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (μSRXRF) technique has been used to determine the localization and the relative concentrations of Zn, Cu, Fe and Ca in primary colorectal cancer and secondary colorectal liver metastases. 24 colon and 23 liver samples were examined, all of which were formalin fixed tissues arranged as microarrays of 1.0mm diameter and 10μm thickness. The distribution of these metals was compared with light transmission …
