Abstract

Multiple metabolic and biochemical interrelationships, as well as the most recent views on mechanisms of malignant cell growth, proliferation, and oncogen activity mediated by the Na+/H+ antiporter, can be integrated from the unitarian point of view of the dynamics of the hydrogen ion to parallel pH-related mechanisms involved in the Spontaneous Regression (SR) of some malignant tumors. Also, pH-related growth inhibitors of the amiloride series are considered as possible agents to be used in the adjuvant and co-adjuvant treatment of some human tumors as well as in the control of the metastatic process and in overcoming cancer multidrug resistance (MDR).
