Abstract
The results of animal studies have shown that the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the inflammatory biomarkers, enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy and decrease the side effects of the chemotherapy or of the cancer.
Studies in human populations have associated high intake of fish or fish oil to decreased risk of some cancers. In this review we discuss the reasons for using omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids as adjuvant to ameliorate the efficacy of anticancer treatment.
