title: Inhibitory action of garlic oil on the initiation of benzo[a]pyrene-induced skin carcinogenesis in mice.
abstract: When garlic oil was topically applied during the initiation phase of benzo[a]pyrene (B(a)P)-induced skin carcinogenesis in random bred adult female Swiss albino mice of two different substrains, there was a decline in the number of tumor-bearing mice as well as in the mean number of tumors per effective mouse.
