There was a significant decrease in papilloma incidence by 67%, stops its multiplication by 96%, and TPA-induced ODC activity is lowered by 70% by this oil. Thus, it is proved that sandalwood is a very effective chemopreventive agent used for skin diseases, mainly cancer (Dwivedi and Abu-Ghazaleh 1997).
