Photomicrographs (hematoxylin-eosin staining, 100x) showing the effects of treatments on the extent of cancerous lesion in breast tumors. Yellow frame: extent of cancerous lesion; Cl: cancerous lesion; Ct: connective tissue; black arrow: cancer cells; DMBA: 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene; DW: distilled water; TAM: tamoxifen; AE: aqueous extract of D. edulis leaves. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5). (a) DMBA + DW. (b) DMBA + TAM. (c) DMBA + AE 25. (d) DMBA + AE 100.
