Description
Jovana Kocić and co-authors present a 2025 study on trace elements in precancerous cervical tissue. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is a graded set of early lesions that can advance to cancer if missed. The team's earlier work found element shifts in patients' blood, so they moved to the tissue itself for a sharper signal.
They measured sixteen elements in lesion samples from 60 patients with mid- and high-grade lesions. Healthy tissue from the same patients served as the control. A plasma mass spectrometry method gave precise levels for each element. Lesion tissue held more of several needed elements, including chromium, cobalt, selenium, and molybdenum. It also held more of the toxic elements beryllium, nickel, and cadmium. The pattern may help flag risky lesions.
