ABSTRACT
Cancer Proliferation and Methionine alignant tumors are characterized by a high rate of growth.1 Since tissue growth requires protein biosynthesis, many studies have attempted to arrest tumor growth by limidng the substrate of protein biosynthesis consumed in the diet.2-6 However,
in these studies it was almost impossible to maintain good nutritional status because the amount of such nutrients taken orally or through the stomach via a feeding tube is inevitably limited. Thus, it is difficult to determine whether the anti tumor effects obtained were induced by malnutrition or by unbalanced amino acid nutrients.
