METHODS OF SUPRESSING UV LIGHT-INDUCED SKIN CARCINOGENESIS

摘要

ABSTRACT Administration of the isothiocyanate protects against UV light-induced skin carcinogenesis. In particular, topical application or dietary administration of isothiocyanate sulforaphane after exposure to UV radiation provides effective protection against skin tumor formation. Sulforaphane analogs and glucosinolates also can be employed. Lotions useful for suppressing UV light-induced skin carcinogenesis also are provided.
