Statement on Fred Hutchison Omega-3/ Breast Cancer Study
July 12, 2010
“The possibility that regular use of fish oil supplements could help reduce the risk of breast cancer, is of course, both potentially exciting as well as intriguing,” said Liz Thompson, senior vice president of Medical and Scientific Affairs for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. “These early findings demonstrate the need for follow-up studies. In fact, Komen for the Cure is already investing $7.5 million in a major study at Pennsylvania State University's School of Medicine looking at how fish oils may be combined with the drug raloxifene to prevent breast cancer. In the meantime, we suggest women check with their health care providers about the pros and cons of using these and other supplements.”
