Summary
Previous studies have demonstrated, in an in vitro micro-tumour model (the spheroid) and in a mouse model, that long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, in particular docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can inhibit tumour development.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to collect DHA-enriched human serum, following ingestion of a DHA-enriched oil, in order to assess its effect on tumour development in vitro. Blood enriched in fatty acids not containing DHA will be used as a control condition, obtained after ingestion of olive oil.
This study is an important step to determine the interest of DHA supplementation as a new approach to prevent tumour development, and/or as an adjuvant to cancer treatments.
Primary Outcome
Palmitoleic fatty acid pattern
