Abstract

Dietary antioxidants were effective in reducing the number and severity of ultraviolet light-induced squamous cell carcinomas in skin of hairless mice. This and previous studies suggest that antioxidants may play a role in both inhibition of the primary event(s) involved in ultraviolet light-mediated tumor induction and the subsequent development of precancerous lesions into tumors.
