Abstract
This study of the features of the biochemical composition of biological fluids in patients with breast cancer, including saliva, allows us to identify some indicators as metabolic predictors of the presence of the disease.
Objectives: to study the influence of the menopause factor and body mass index (BMI) on the biochemical composition of saliva and to evaluate the applicability of metabolic markers of saliva for the diagnosis of breast cancer.
Methods: The case-control study involved 1438 people (breast cancer, n = 543; fibroadenomas, n = 597; control, n = 298). A comprehensive study of the biochemical composition of saliva was carried out using 36 parameters.
Results: When comparing the salivary biochemical composition in breast cancer, fibroadenomas, and controls, it is necessary to take into account the menopausal status, as well as BMI (less than 25 or more) for the group of patients with preserved menstrual function. A complex of biochemical parameters has been identified that change in saliva during breast cancer, regardless of menopause and BMI (total protein, urea, uric acid, NO, α-amino acids, GGT), as well as specific parameters that must be taken into account when analyzing individual subgroups (imidazole compounds, LDH, catalase, α-amylase). During the study of a separate group of patients with leaf-shaped (phyllodes) tumors, we found similarities with breast cancer in the changes in some biochemical parameters that can be attributed to metabolites of malignant growth (protein, α-amino acids, calcium, NO, pyruvate, peroxidase, α-amylase).
Conclusions: We demonstrated changes in a wide range of salivary biochemical parameters depending on the presence of fibroadenomas and breast cancer. From the point of view of clinical practice, this may be useful information for monitoring the condition of patients with fibroadenomas, which are difficult to unambiguously classify based on instrumental diagnostics alone.

期刊介绍:
Metabolites (ISSN 2218-1989) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal of metabolism and metabolomics. Metabolites publishes original research articles and review articles in all molecular aspects of metabolism relevant to the fields of metabolomics, metabolic biochemistry, computational and systems biology, biotechnology and medicine, with a particular focus on the biological roles of metabolites and small molecule biomarkers. Metabolites encourages scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on article length. Sufficient experimental details must be provided to enable the results to be accurately reproduced. Electronic material representing additional figures, materials and methods explanation, or supporting results and evidence can be submitted with the main manuscript as supplementary material.
