Fatty acids are key components of phospholipid membranes and lipid are related to cell signaling thought to impact carcinogenesis process. Multiple mechanisms are related to this chemopreventive activity, including cell growth inhibition, control of cell cycle arrest and suppression of neoplastic transformation. Omega 3 (n3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are found naturally in fish or fish oil and have been extensively studied in multiple inflammatory diseases with improved outcomes, especially in cancer, whereas n3 PUFA appear to modulate cancer progression while n6 fatty acids contribute to cancer development.
