Abstract
The results obtained in this work prove that SRIXE and XANES techniques are complementary ones for analysis of trace elements in biomedical samples. The absorption K-edge position of iron determined in cancerous tissue is shifted by 2.9Â eV towards higher energies in comparison to iron absorption K-edge determined in non-cancerous tissue. The information obtained in this way may help to understand the role of oxidation state of iron in the oxidative stress underlying the oncogenesis.
