The peculiar characteristics of 35S lipoic acid uptake by blood red cells in breast cancer patients were studied. The rate of 35S lipoic acid uptake by red cells in cancer patients was much higher than that in healthy female donors. The difference was less significant in cases of acute mastitis or benign tumors. The increased uptake of 35S lipoic acid by red cells may prove instrumental in the diagnosis and, probably, therapy of breast cancer.
