Fish Oils May Slow Breast Cancer Growth via Immune, Inflammatory Mechanisms

Past epidemiological studies have suggested that women who consume high levels of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (LC-ω-3FA) have a lower risk of developing breast cancer (BC) than women who consume low levels of omega-3. New research in mice suggests that a diet rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids can suppresses the growth and metastasis of breast cancer, and prolong survival, by suppressing tumor-promoting inflammation and boosting anticancer T-cell responses. The scientists, head
