Abstract

• The free radical theory of cancer postulates that loss of MnSOD promotes cancer. • We created mouse models of malignancy with and without conditional loss of MnSOD. • We show that MnSOD loss delays the onset of p53-dependent tumor development. • Our data suggest that inhibition of MnSOD in tumor cells may slow tumor progression.
