Zusammenfassung:Present study repots changes in serum copper levels (SCL) in various neoplastic diseases undergoing radiotherapy. We estimated SCLs in 140 individuals comprising of 90 previously untreated patients with various malignancies and 50 healthy controls. Patients received radiation in doses of 40-70 Gy in 4-7 weeks. SCLs were again estimated in patients following irradiation. The mean SCL was significantly higher (P
