Evaluation of Oxidative Stress, Anti-Oxidant, Vitamins and Co-Factor Elements in The Sera of Gastric Cancer in Iraqi Patients.

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze oxidative stress markers Total Oxidant Status (TOS) and total Antioxidant Status (TAS), assess antioxidant levels (vitamin C, E), and evaluate co-factor element profiles zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) in the serum of Iraqi gastric cancer patients. By elucidating these relationships, the research aims to enhance knowledge on oxidative stress, dietary factors, and potential therapeutic approaches for managing nutritional imbalances in this cohort.

Methods: The study included 60 gastric cancer patients and 60 matched controls.
