[Polyamines and their use in clinical oncology]
Abstract
Recent achievements in the study of polyamine metabolism, its participation in normal and malignant growth are generalized. Main attention is paid to the polyamine and enzyme metabolism in carcinogenesis and malignant growth in animals and man. The analysis of the great number of the author's own observations permits recommending the determination of polyamines in the urine or in blood in a complex of diagnostic tests as well as for estimating the efficiency of treatment of oncological patients and prognosticating the diseases.
