Trial Outcomes & Findings for Omega-3 Fatty Acid in Treating Patients With Stage I-III Breast Cancer (NCT NCT01869764)

NCT ID: NCT01869764

Last Updated: 2019-10-30

Results Overview

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be used to assess the effect of omega-3 dietary supplementation on PUFA levels separately in normal and malignant breast tissue. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) will be used to assess the omega-3 effect in plasma and red blood cells (RBC), where the baseline levels of the PUFAs will be included as covariates. PUFA Levels analyzed were 18:2 n-6, 18:3 n-3, 20:2 n-6, 20:4 n-6, 20:3 n-3, 20:5 n-3, 22:6 n-3
