Abstract:
The annual incidence of all forms of skin cancer, the most common of all human cancers, is increasing yearly. A unique nutrient mixture (NM) was shown to exhibit anticancer activity in vivo and in vitro. We examined the effect of NM on the development of skin cancer induced by 7,12-dimethylbezanthracene (DMBA) in female SENCAR mice by a complete carcinogenesis protocol. Mice (n = 55) were divided into four groups and carefully shaved on dorsum.
