Neoplasms of the liver were induced in 18 cases out of 44 in the Egyptian toad, Bufo regularis, by injection with 20-methylcholanthrene. Dose level was 10 mg/50 g body weight once a week. However, the injection of the same dose level of this hydrocarbon together with vitamin A palmitate on the level of 20,000 IU/50 g body weight once a week was found to develop hepatomas in the liver in only 1 of 45 cases. Results of this study indicate that vitamin A palmitate inhibited the carcinogenic effect of 20-methylcholanthrene.
