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 cancer has been found to be associated with increase in the levels of linoleic acid in pre‐menopausal women and of arachidonic acid in the post‐menopausal group.

## 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
The study of the relationship between dietary intake of fatty acids and the risk of breast cancer has not yielded definite conclusions with respect to causality, possibly because of methodological issues inherent to nutritional epidemiology. To evaluate the hypothesis of possible protection of n-3 p
