ALB and breast cancer: Therefore, the antioxidant/oxidative parameters of the tumor are prognostically important in many types of cancer, and these parameters can be assessed by the detection of well-known oxidative markers of proteins, such as protein carbonyl (PCO), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), and ischemia modified albumin (IMA),[7,8] or of malondialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation marker.[9] For example, serum IMA levels are increased in various cancers, including BC and CC.[8,10–16]
