Abstract
Growth of tumor cells in a host is arrested by the generation of elevated blood and plasma levels of adenosine 5'-triphosphate in said host. These elevated levels can be achieved, for instance, by administering adenosine 5'-monophosphate, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or chelates thereof, or radio-nuclides thereof. Weight loss caused by cancer cachexia is substantially inhibited.
