Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for the correct development of eukaryotic organisms. This metal plays a key role in many cellular and physiological activities, including enzymatic activity, oxygen transport, cell signaling. Although redox activity Cu crucial reactions, this property also makes it potentially toxic when found at high levels. Due to dual action Cu, highly regulated mechanisms are necessary prevent both deficiency accumulation since its dyshomeostasis may favor multiple diseases, such as Menkes' Wilson's neurodegenerative diabetes mellitus, cancer. As relationship between cancer has been most studied, we analyze how can affect three fundamental processes tumor progression: proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis. Gynecological diseases characterized by prevalence, morbidity, mortality, depending on case, mainly include benign malignant tumors. The that promote their progression affected occur be similar.
