Enzymology of Cancer Cells

Weber, George·1977·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

This paper attempts to integrate the relevant quantitative and qualitative differences in the enzymology of the cancer cell discriminating it from that of the normal cell. In cancer cells an ordered pattern of enzymatic imbalance is linked with the malignant transformation and the gradations in the expression of the neoplastic properties (progression). The metabolic imbalance confers biologic advantages on the cancer cells. This insight into the molecular biology of neoplasia singles out key enzymes as sensitive targets of anti-cancer drugs.Clinical Strategy of Treatment of Neoplastic DiseasesThe success in the treatment of infectious diseases is in contrast to the . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
