Believe51,

Releasing ammonia in your sweat is caused by burning protein during your exercise instead of carbohydrates. If you are low on carbohydrates, the body dips into the protein reserves, which means your muscles or whatever protein you ate recently, ie amino acids. Ammonia is the by-product of burning off the protein.

I'd be skeptical that it relates to cancer. The ammonia smell is a common topic of discussion among athletes.
