Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Dietary intake of long-chain omega-3 (LC n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids may reduce inflammation and in turn decrease risk of prostate cancer development and progression. This potential effect may be modified by genetic variation in cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism and inflammation. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We used a case-control study of 466 men diagnosed with aggressive...
