Patent abstract
Compositions are provided for the topical treatment of cancer consisting of lotions, creams, sprays, suppositories or slow-release transdermal patches containing lipid-soluble, skin-penetrating organic selenium compounds in combination with inert carriers in therapeutically effective amounts of selenium compound. The selenium compounds are medium linear chain dialkyl diselenides and precursors such as alkyl selenols. Preferred compositions employ R—Se—Se—R compounds where R is from 6 to 8 carbon atoms, and most specifically di-n-hexyl diselenide. Commonly used carriers may be purified hydrocarbon fractions, oils, with or without added fat-soluble vitamins, water and emulsifying agents.
