Kruskal-Wallis test. Data are expressed as median interquartile range (IqR). Values are statistically significant when . Multiplicity: number of tumours developed, % reduction: the percentage reduction in size of primary tumours, TH: Tualang honey, MH: Manuka honey, and +ive control: group bearing breast cancer but with no honey treatment.
