ABSTRACT
Lauryl gallate (antioxidant food additive E-312) prevents the formation of dimethylbenzanthracene-induced skin tumours in mice, and kills, selectively, tumoral cells on established tumours. This results in total remission, after topical application of the compound on the tumoral mass, without affecting the surrounding tissue.
