Thymidine kinase in breast cancer [PDF]

British Journal of Cancer, 1990
The enzyme thymidine kinase is associated with DNA synthesis. Thymidine kinase serum levels were studied in normal controls (n = 20), patients with primary breast cancer (n = 60), patients with systemic breast cancer (n = 20) and as a non-cancer disease control group in patients with inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders (n = 20).
