Weekly supplementation of 1,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids and 100 g of omega-3 rich lipid emulsion for pancreatic cancer patients improved their quality of life.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids Hold More Benefits Than Presumed
Omega-3 fatty acids may actually hold a good number of health benefits and have biological impacts that exceed earlier beliefs, and may play a role in preventing fatty liver disease, a new study found

The results, outlined in the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, found evidence of activity in response and disease stabilization rates. It also found reduction in liver metastasis volume and improved quality of life scores in this group of patients.
While this is the first study to use omega-3 fatty acids with a chemotherapy agent in a cancer setting, the researchers believe the results are encouraging enough to warrant further investigation in a randomized phase III trial.
