Dietary intake of fish, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and survival after breast cancer: A population‐based follow‐up study on Long Island, New York
Abstract
In laboratory experiments, ω‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been found to reduce inflammatory eicosanoids resulting from ω‐6 PUFA metabolism via competitive inhibition, and the ω‐3‐induced cytotoxic environment increases apoptosis and reduces cell growth in breast cancer cells. To the authors' knowledge, epidemiologic investigations regarding whether dietary ω‐3 PUFA intake benefits survival after breast cancer are limited and inconsistent.
