Methionine restriction can inhibit proliferation of tumors cells by decreasing the level of methionine with depriving methionine, methioninase, homocysteine, and its analogs.Methionine restriction may act synergistically with chemotherapies to increase their efficiency and /or reduce their toxic side effects.Therefore, methionine restriction would become a new cancer treatment.
