Objective: Quality of life issues have become increasingly important as the number of newly diagnosed patients with cancer increases and survival improves. Brest cancer is the most common type of invasive cancer in Women. The authors carried out a study on 50 newly diagnosed cancer patients with the objective of investigating the changes in anemia profile and how to protect from future risk. Materials and Methods: we conducted a case control study at oncology department of geetanjali medical college and hospital, Udaipur during the period from April, 2016 to February, 2017 and it included a total of 50 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and 50 healthy controls. Anemia profile (iron, ferritin, TIBC, vitamin B-12) done by cobas-6000 fully automated analyzer. Results: The mean serum level of iron (66.46 � 3.97), ferritin (37.04 � 7.43), TIBC.(323.56 � 26.04) is higher than the control group (29.35 � 1.48), (23.05 � 2.55),(219.28 � 21.93) respectively. The mean vitamin B-12 level in cases (183.64 � 29.38) is lower than the controls (183.64 � 29.38). Conclusions: Our study indicates the significant changes in serum vit- B12, ferritin and iron and TIBC in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. A significant changes in these parameters will be suggested for further risk of breast cancer in women, so it�s necessary to aware women for the same, so in future can improve their survival.
