Its an interesting question and I did some
very quick incomplete research while at work. The only cancer that
I can state for sure L-Tyrosine is contraindicated in is
Malignant Melanoma since Tyrosine is involved in Melanin
Synthesis. I cant say anything definitive about breast cancer yet, although there was a discussion among some
breast cancer patients who were using L Tyrosine (and
5-HT) for depressive symptoms. Ill do more extensive research over the weekend, but only melanoma stands out so far as a possible problem with L Tyrosine.
