      Studies have shown that fatty acids from fish and fish oils, like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DHA) may have a beneficial role in cancer by inhibiting proliferation or inducing apoptosis of the cancer cells. Several mechanisms involving different metabolites (eicosanoids) of the fatty acids have been suggested for the anti-cancer actions, but the detailed effects are still ...
