## Abstract Experimental studies have indicated that n‐3 fatty acids, including alpha‐linolenic acid (18:3 n‐3) and long‐chain n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids inhibit mammary tumor growth and metastasis. Earlier epidemiological studies have given inconclusive results about a potential protective ef

## Abstract Five fatty acids (FA) 2 saturated, palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0) and 3 unsaturated, oleic (C18:1), linoleic (C18:2), arachidonic (C20:4) acids have been studied in the red cell membranes of breast cancer patients and controls. Statistically significant decrease in the risk of breast
Animal and ecological studies suggest that linoleic acid intake is related to breast-cancer incidence. Analytical epidemiologic studies, however, do not support such findings. The primary objective of our ecological study was to investigate the association between breast-cancer incidence and linolei
## BACKGROUND. Epidemiologic studies have recently related benzene hexachloride (BHC) to breast carcinoma risk. Experimental studies have also shown that -BHC is weakly estrogenic, hence supporting the alleged association. By directly comparing -BHC levels in breast adipose tissue from incident
In order to study the relationship between benign breast changes, a family history of breast cancer and breast cancer, extratumoral breast tissue from 1259 breast-cancer patients in the WHO Collaborative Study of Neoplasia and Contraceptives was classified histologically. The occurrence of ductal hy
## Abstract Dietary intake of fish rich in n‐3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has been proposed to decrease cancer risk. In contrast to results from laboratory studies, however, protective effects for breast cancer have pr
