The following standards were established on the basis of the Center's own research. Optimal concentration ranges are correlated with a reduced risk of cancer in adults (over 18 years of age). For more information about our research, please read our research.

Elemental norms have not yet been established for some groups of patients based on prospective observations of cohorts of Polish patients. We mark this situation as "NZ". These relationships may be observed as a result of further work. Before choosing the type of elements to be tested, please read the table of current standards.

In patients under 18 years of age, the optimal concentration of elements has not yet been determined in the Polish population.

  • NZ - so far, no correlation has been found between the concentration of the element and the risk of cancer in this clinical subgroup

  • Non-smokers
  • Smokers
  • * Level of arsenic below 0.6 µg/l in the blood in women over 40 years of age may be the expected concentration if a diet low in arsenic is used, but it may also be a parameter/marker indicating the developing malignant tumor of the large intestine. It is recommended to do this to rule out this possibility control colonoscopy (Baszuk i wsp., 2021).
  • ** Level of copper above 930 µg/l in the blood in women and copper concentration above 770 µg/l in the blood in men may indicate developing colorectal cancer. In order to exclude this possibility, it is advisable to perform control colonoscopy (Baszuk i wsp., 2021).
