Studies of human breast cancers show that tumoral tissues have a much higher ferritin content (mean : 4,5 times) than normal tissues. However, only 10% of patients without metastasis present raised levels of serum ferritin, whereas hyperferritinemia is observed in almost 95% of patients with liver, bone or lung metastasis.
