BAMLET in the drinking water; protection against intestinal cancer and potent beneficial health effects
Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of death world-wide and more than 180,000 cases are diagnosed annually in the US alone. We now show that daily, long-term treatment with BAMLET in the drinking water inhibits intestinal tumor development in mice genetically susceptible to intestinal tumors, compared to mice not receiving BAMLET. The frequency of tumors and the tumor size was reduced already after short-term BAMLET treatment but with continued treatment, the mice remained symptom-free and survived significantly longer than control mice.Targeting early, locally growing tumors is essential
