a

Age in table indicates age of animal when study was started; either when tumors were initiated or when resveratrol was administered, depending on study design.

b

Review authors' interpretation of paper results with a focus on tumor outcomes.

c

Resveratrol delayed tumor growth at 3 weeks (both doses) and 4 weeks (higher dose only) post injection compared with mice on control diet, but there were no differences in tumor size after 7 weeks at the end of the study.
