Abstract:
Study on 62 patients with the stage Ib and IIa cervical cancer pre- and post- radiotherapy and 30 healthy controls aged from 30-35 years old. The result showed that activites of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPx and GR) of patients with the stage Ib and IIa cervical cancer were significantly decreased compared to those of healthy controls. Activites of these enzyms clearly decreased post-radiotherapy, and more clearly at the 21st day post-radiotherapy. TAS and Hb concentration of cancer patient decreased compared with control group and they trend to recover at the 21st day post-radiotherapy
