Objectives:
Do omega-3 fatty acids in fish consumption reduce risk of breast cancer in Asian patients?
Study design:
This review article included 4 cohort studies and 7 case-control studies with a total of 130,365 Asian patients.
There was not any study with significant publication bias included.
Results and conclusions:
The investigators found omega-3 fatty acids in fish consumption significantly reduced risk of breast cancer in Asian patients with 20% [OR = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.73-0.87, p 0.00001].
Significant because OR of 1 was not found in the 95% CI of 0.73 to 0.87. OR of 1 means no risk/association.
The investigators concluded omega-3 fatty acids in fish consumption reduce breast cancer risk in Asian patients.
