| ABSTRACT The present paper reports selected results of 184 surgical patients in Basrah. They were 82 males and 102 females. Their ages ranged between 22-84 years. From those, 100 patients had different malignancies. 43% from the total number, of malignant tumors with gastrointestinal GIT cancer, while breast cancer and malignancy of urinary systems each represents 18%. And the other types of malignancy were 21%. The remaining 84 patients were suffering from surgical ailments other than malignancy. Their serum vitamin C were measured. The results showed high significant reduction in serum Vitamin C in all type of malignancy , specifically in GIT (P< 0,00l)in respect to age mainly at the age less than 45 and between 45-65 years old, as well as sex and nutritional habit mainly among those consuming fruit and Vegetables less than 3 times per week.
