Tóm tắt

The material presented here tends to show: (1) that the enzymes of malignant cells may be considered the key point in the problem of malignancy, and (2) that these enzymes can be inactivated by an increased concentration of ozygen, with the consequent destruction of malignant tissues. The amount of clinical material presented is insignificant, but the results may warrant full-scale research in this field along clinical and biochemical lines. The following theses for further research in the area can be suggested:
