Sažetak
One of the factors involved in the colorectal cancer development is intracellular
oxidative stress and antioxidative imbalance. The study aimed to explore the link between oxidative
stress measured by the activity of antioxidative markers and lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde
(MDA) as possible cancer predictors of colorectal cancer by using several statistical methods. The study
included 50 adult colorectal cancer patients of both genders. MDA level, the activity of antioxidative
markers superoxide dismutase and catalase, and glutathione concentration were determined in
patient sera. There was no age difference between male and female patients (p=0.579), and no gender
differences according to cancer site (p=0.995), stage (p=0.083), and size (p=0.245). Th ere were no
differences in the levels of studied enzymes. Correlation analysis of antioxidative markers and MDA
with cancer size and patient age revealed strongest individual correlation between the MDA and
cancer size variables (r=-0.56).
