    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • Retinoids encompass natural vitamin A compounds and synthetic analogs.
    • These substances have demonstrated significant biological activities.
    • Their role in cellular differentiation and proliferation is well-documented.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review early and recent investigations on retinoids in cancer.
    • To highlight the prophylactic and therapeutic potential of retinoids.
    • To introduce retinoids as a novel approach to cancer treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of preclinical and clinical studies.
    • Analysis of experimental tumor models.
    • Evaluation of clinical data on preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions.

    Main Results:

    • Retinoids exhibit prophylactic effects against certain tumors.
    • Retinoids demonstrate therapeutic efficacy in preneoplastic and neoplastic conditions.
    • A unique physiological mechanism of action distinguishes retinoids.

    Conclusions:

    • Retinoids represent a promising class of compounds for cancer prevention and treatment.
    • Their distinct mechanism offers an alternative to conventional cancer therapies.
    • Further research into retinoids could revolutionize cancer management.
