Assess the impact of dietary omega 3 free fatty acids and/or letrozole on obese, postmenopausal breast cancer patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Prospective, comparative, three arm, short term, non-interventional study with correlative biomarker endpoints. Sixty (60) obese (≥ 30 BMI) newly diagnosed ER+ postmenopausal breast cancer patients will be recruited to participate in a short term (30 day) Phase 0 biomarker evaluation study prior to surgical resection.
