Omega-3 Fish Oil

Omega-3 fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids found in various foods such as fish, walnuts and flaxseeds. They are essential in maintaining cardiovascular health and are often supplemented for their protective effects against cardiac events. However, recent research has highlighted the potential application of omega-3 fatty acids in cancer treatment.  Their anti-inflammatory nature coupled with their ability to modulate cellular pathways involved in cancer development make them a subject of interest in oncology.

Breast Cancer: Omega-3 fatty acids have shown promise in inhibiting breast cancer cell proliferation and metastasis [9].

Colorectal Cancer: Research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may play a beneficial role in the treatment of colorectal cancer [10].

• Increased Sensitivity to Chemotherapy: Omega-3 fatty acids could render cancer cells more responsive to chemotherapy agents, potentially improving treatment outcomes [8].
• Targeted Therapy Enhancement: Omega-3 fatty acids can potentially target cancer cells specifically which may impact treatment outcomes [9].
