Abstract
Cervical cancer is a multi‐factorial disease process and risk factors associated are early age of intercourse, multiple sex partners, low socioeconomic status and human papilloma virus infection. Cancer development is a complex mechanism comprising of proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation and the interplay between these intricate processes decides tumor development and progression. A total number of 60 women were recruited in our study after taking written and informed consent. Out of these 60 women, 30 were cases and 30 were healthy controls. The 30 cases were clinically and histologically confined cases of carcinoma cervix of various stages. The 30 controls were matched with cases for age and BMI. It was seen that the mean serum total cholesterol levels were lesser in carcinoma group (131.7 mg/dl) than in the control group (176.3 md/dl) which was statistically strongly significant (p<0.001). It was seen that the mean serum triglycerides levels were lesser in carcinoma group (107.77mg/dl) than in the control group (183.57 md/dl) which was statistically strongly significant (p<0.001).
