Abstract
Malig nant tissues have a higher phosphatide and cholesterol content than malignant tissues admixed with normal tissues. Malignant tissues show a high proportion of bound cholesterol. Malignant and benign tumors have a higher phosphatide-cholesterol ratio than do the neighboring tissues or similar tissues from which they have arisen.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
