Abstract
Aloe Vera has been claimed to contain several important therapeutic propert
ies, including anticancer effects. The effect of Aloe Vera administration w
as studied on a pleural tumor in rat. Growth of Yoshida AH-130 ascite hepat
oma cells injected (2 x 10(5) in 0.1 ml) into pleura of male inbred Fisher
mts was evalued at different times (7th and 14th days). Data show that the
use of Aloe Vera proved a therapeutic method, and that the present experime
ntal model could be useful in the study of other therapeutics treatments in
vivo.
