The women's breasts are made up of specialized tissue that produces milk (glandular tissue) and fatty tissue. The size of a women's breast is totally determined by the amount of fat.
Breast density is a term that refers to relatively high amounts of glandular tissue and fibrous connective tissue and relatively low amounts of fatty tissue in the breast seen by a mammogram.
Besides genetic preposition, younger age women, women with a lower-body max index and taking hormone therapy in menopausal women have been found to have higher breast density.
Breast cancer is a medical condition associated with abnormal cell growth in the breast tissue due to the alternation of cell DNA.
Most cases of breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the tissues of the breast either from the milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk.
At the early stage of breast cancer, most patients experience the forming of lumps or modules on the breast or nearby breast tissue.
However, at the later stage, patients may experience symptoms of swelling of all or part of a breast, breast or nipple pain, nipple retraction and large lumps on the breast.
Some invasive breast cancer in this stage can also induce secondary metastasis through the blood and fluids circulation.
According to the statistic, women diagnosed with breast cancer at stage 0 and 1 have the 5 years of the survival rate of 100%. In 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of a woman is 1/8.
Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.
The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of breast cancer, researchers compared the effects of Lovaza (n-3FA) on breast density in obese and nonobese women.
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of breast cancer, researchers compared the effects of Lovaza (n-3FA) on breast density in obese and nonobese women.
Moreover, the posthoc analysis also revealed that n-3FA administration reduced BD selectively in obese postmenopausal women.
Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the prevention of breast cancer by reducing the breast density, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
