Evaluation of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and total antioxidant status as possible disease markers in oesophageal malignancies.
Evaluation of oxidative stress and diagnostic utility of its markers in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).. Serum 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) were measured in OSCC (n=75), non-malignant oesophageal diseases (n=30), and healthy subjects (n=79). Three months following oesophagectomy the measurements were repeated.. Exclusively in OSCC, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and TBARS were elevated. TAS was reduced in non-malignancies compared to controls, and in OSCC compared to non-malignancies and controls. Only 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine was associated with disease progression, lymph node involvement in particular. All indices were good indicators of cancer presence (ROC analysis) and normalized following oesophagectomy. A positive linear relationship between 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and TBARS, and negative non-linear between TAS and both 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and TBARS was demonstrated.. OSCC is associated with oxidative stress, attenuated following oesophagectomy. Consumption of serum antioxidants prevents accumulation of oxidatively modified molecules in non-malignancies. High accuracy of oxidative stress markers in indicating cancer presence warrants further investigation on their possible application as discriminatory markers and in monitoring treatment efficacy.
