Foods containing omega-3 fatty acids may help in the prevention of early- and late-stage oral and skin cancers, according to a study published.

5 August 2013, USA (http://www.realpharmacyrx.co/): Foods containing omega-3 fatty acids may help in the prevention of early- and late-stage oral and skin cancers, according to a study published. The researchers grew cell cultures in the laboratory from number of different cell lines. These considered both malignant oral and skin cancers, alongside normal skin and oral cells and pre-malignant cells.

The focus was mainly on a type of cancer called squamous-cell carcinoma. This is one of the chief forms of skin cancer affecting the outer layers of the skin (mainly made up of squamous cells). The researchers also revealed that squamous-cell carcinoma can also occur in the lungs, other areas of the body, and lining of the digestive tract.

Oral squamous cell carcinomas are the sixth most common skin cancer worldwide; the researchers also revealed that they are difficult and expensive to treat. When the researchers carried out in vitro tests by adding fatty acids into the cell cultures, outcomes showed that omega-3 fatty acids induced cell death in malignant and pre-malignant cells in doses that did not affect normal cells.

We found that the omega-3 fatty acid selectively inhibited the growth of the malignant and pre-malignant cells at doses which did not affect the normal cells. The scientists say that because the doses needed to kill the cancer cells did not affect normal cells, this means Omega-3 fatty acids can be utilized for the prevention and treatment of oral and skin cancers.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are found mainly in oily, fatty fish. Previous research has discovered that omega-3 may have numerous health advantages, including helping to preclude cardiovascular disease. It may be that those at an increased risk of such cancers - or their recurrence - could benefit from increased omega-3 fatty acids.
