Serum copper levels (SCL) and serum zinc levels (SZL) were measured in two groups of lung cancer patients divided according to disease extension. SCL was higher, SZL was lower and SCL/SZL ratio was more raised in patients extensively affected by the disease. It is confirmed that SCL, SZL and the SCL/SZL ratio play an important role in indicating the stage of lung cancer development.
