Zusammenfassung:	Summary Objective: To study any possible association between serum ascorbic acid and uric acid levels with lung cancer. Method: Serum ascorbic acid and uric acid levels in lung cancer patients (n=30) and healthy controls (n=45) were measured. Results: The mean values for serum ascorbic acid were found to be significantly lower (P< 0·05) in patients (0·112±0·020) than in controls (0·394±0·029). Serum uric acid levels of patients were also significantly lower than those of controls (P< 0·05). Conclusion: There was no association between serum levels of ascorbic acid and uric acid, cholesterol, triglyceride and albumin levels with lung cancer.
