Antineoplastic activity of honey in an experimental bladder cancer implantation model: <i>In vivo</i> and <i> in vitro</i> studies

Abstract

Bee honey is an effective agent for inhibiting the growth of T24, RT4, 253J and MBT-2 bladder cancer cell lines in vitro. It is also effective when administered intralesionally or orally in the MBT-2 bladder cancer implantation models. Our results are promising, and further research is needed to clarify the mechanisms of the antitumor activity of honey.
