Abstract
In a two-stage skin carcinogenesis model, mice initiated with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene and promoted with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) for 12 weeks developed an average of 15.8 skin tumours per mouse with 100% tumour incidence. Topical application of polysaccharides from soybeans fermented with either Phellinus igniarius or Agrocybe cylindracea together with TPA twice weekly for 12 weeks inhibited the number of skin tumours per mouse by 70 or 88%, respectively, and the percentage of mice with tumours was lowered by 70 or 30%, respectively.
