Hydroxytyrosol (a phenolic compound derived from virgin olive oil) has demonstrated an anti-tumour effect in several tumour cell lines in addition to other health-related properties. The aim of this study was to investigate, for the first time in an animal model of experimental mammary carcinoma, the anti-cancer ability of hydroxytyrosol and to discover which pathways are modified by hydroxytyrosol.
