Carotenoid compounds and vitamin E compounds are preferably administered according to the method of the present invention such that the daily dosage of carotenoid compounds is 1-100 mg, and the daily dosage of vitamin E compounds is 10-200 mg. When capsules comprising 10 mg natural lycopene, 6 mg natural .beta.-carotene, 3 mg natural .alpha.-carotene, 1 mg other natural carotenoids, and .alpha.-tocopherol were administered to hepatic cirrhosis patients over a period of 5 years, the incidence rate of hepatic cancer after 5 years in the group who took the capsules was one-third that of the group who did not take the capsules. Significant cancer-preventive effects in humans are manifested for the first time in the composition of the present invention.
