Jean no matter how many papers I find, I doubt it will answer

they question you have which is whether taking glutamine at the dose you do will hurt YOU or somehow encourage your tumor to recur.
Responses to compounds can be 1) species specific ie different for mice than people 2) dose specific 3) depend on how much is absorbed/gets metabolized/gets excreted which can depend on YOUR INDIVIDUAL GENETICS
as well as what other foods, liquids, drugs, supplements, absorbable beauty products and soaps, secondhand smoke, etc you are exposed to

Different compounds at different doses/amounts can have entirely different effects.

Who's to know what dose is the right one. Also how often/what time of day to take it to have the maximal effect. None of this has been worked out I hate to tell you.

The basic fields of pharmacology, physiology,etc are areas where research is neglected while scientists are utilized in the shortsighted but important research into individual drugs. Pharmacogenomics, pharmacokinetics and endocrinology are all areas needing much more attention and funding

Off my soapbox. Sorry I couldn't be more positive

You might try to go to google, enter "entrezpubmed" and enter glutamine
and see if you find what you are looking for
