Irradiation was administered for one whole year, the duration of the test. After 6 months, 80% of the control animals developed precancerous lesions, whereas the bromelain fed group (80 mg per kg per day) hat an incidence of 10%. After one year, all precancerous lesions of the control group progressed into skin cancer.
