Scientists from Petrozavodsk State University announced the results of the study. So, people with cancer have a deficiency or excess of macro- and microelements in their hair. Iron, silicon and selenium deficiencies were found in 25 percent of patients. 30 percent of patients were deficient in iodine, manganese and copper, and 50 percent were deficient in magnesium, calcium, cobalt and zinc.
According to Russian scientists, the formation of malignant tumors affects the change in the elements in the hair of patients. These indicators can be used to identify a risk group, as well as for prophylaxis at the initial stage of the development of cancer, writes the Nation-news portal.
