Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cancer Prevention
Journal Title: Journal of Integrative Oncology - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
A recent review has summarized the evidence that omega-3 fatty acids (FA) have potential in reducing the risk for a common form of cancer [1]. This editorial is a synopsis of that review covering the historical interest in the potential health benefits of omega-3 FA; the mechanistic rationale for such beneficial effect; and the experimental and clinical evidence that omega-3 supplementation could play an important role in cancer prevention.
