| Project Title: | Interaction of Garlic and Selenium in the Inhibition of Breast Cancer |
| Research Institution: | Pennsylvania State University |
| State, Country: | PENNSYLVANIA |
| Researchers: | Jin-Zhou Liu M.D. Ph.D. |
| Year: | 1994 |
| Project Description: | Dr. Liu will investigate the synergistic effect of allyl compounds within garlic and dietary selenium in the ihibition of experimentally DMBA-induced breast cancer.
