Biomineralogy of Cancer

Abstract

Bio-mineralogical investigations of cancer in various tissues-breasts, connective tissue, skin, lungs, thyroid, pancreas, bone, cartilage, etc. had been conducted in our Laboratory with the use of mineralogical methods (SEM-EDS, EMP, IR, X-RD, ASA, etc.) for the last 40 years. Obtained results allowed us to discover elevated levels of various elements at tumor sites of mentioned cancers.
