Retinoids have been shown to be potent inhibitors of epithelial carcinogenesis. Recent evidence has demonstrated that retinoid actions are mediated through nuclear receptors, which are proteins encoded by the retinoic acid receptor and retinoid X receptor gene families. These receptors are activated
