Abstract: Growth of an adenocarcinoma in the liver, lung, lymph node or mammary tissue in a mammal can be inhibited by orally administering a therapeutically effective dosage of pyruvate in the form of sodium pyruvate, calcium pyruvate or organic esters of pyruvate. The pyruvate treatment also retards the development of breaks in the DNA strands associated with the malignancy.
