“…The previous studies conducted on breast cancer patients reported unchanged or slightly decreased HDLcholesterol level in breast cancer patients as compared to control group [9,20,21]. A few other studies reported significantly decreased HDL-cholesterol level in breast cancer patients [18,23,26].In contradict to our study; Peela et alfound significantly increased level of HDLcholesterol in breast cancer patients as compared to control [19]. Non-HDL cholesterol level in the present study was found to be increased in breast cancer patients as compared to control group.…”

“…We found increased level of serum TC in both pre and postmenopausal breast cancer patients as compared to their respective control group. Our findings were in accordance to the several other studies [18][19][20][21].An increased level of TC was observed in breast cancer patients on chemotherapy as compared to control but the differences were not statistically significant [9,26].In contrast to our finding, a study by Timovska et al found decreased level of serum total cholesterol after two courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy [22].In the present study, we observed decreased HDL-cholesterol level in breast cancer patient but the difference was statistically non significant as compared tocontrol group. The previous studies conducted on breast cancer patients reported unchanged or slightly decreased HDLcholesterol level in breast cancer patients as compared to control group [9,20,21].…”

“…There are also the results of the study by Hu et al (36) who found that higher TCC increases the risk of breast cancer (OR=1.45; 95% CI: 1.14-1.85). Likewise, the study by Peela et al (37) found significantly increased TCC in patients with breast cancer. Llaverias et al (38) state that in general the role of cholesterol in the initiation and development of tumors is very controversial.…”
