CP and neoplasm: Among the females (Figure 2, Panel A), tumor size was inversely correlated with serum iron (ρ = −0.37, p = 0.046) and positively correlated with ceruloplasmin (ρ = 0.42, p = 0.021), which correlated also with the pT stage (ρ = 0.55, p = 0.002) and with the TNM stage (ρ = 0.36, p = 0.049).
