title: Onion and garlic oils inhibit tumor promotion.
abstract: The tumor yield and incidence of phorbol-myristate-acetate promotion were inhibited in a dose-dependent manner over the range of 10-10 000 micrograms onion oil, applied three times per week. Garlic oil was also inhibitory but was less effective.
