Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying disorderly and uncontrollably in our body.
Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissues of the organ or gland. At the early stage, most cancers are asymptomatic.
Head and neck cancer is a group of cancers found in the mouth, throat, larynx, sinuses, or salivary glands.
Most cases of head and neck cancer, at the early stage, start by the cell growth irregularly and disorderly on the surface of the inner lining in the head and neck.
At the advanced stage, patients may experience symptoms of a lump in the nose, neck or throat, with or without pain, a persistent sore throat that does not heal, trouble swallowing (dysphagia) and frequent and persistent coughing.
At this stage, cancer cells may travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissue and organs.
Most common head and neck cancer metastases are secondary skin cancer.
The exact causes of head and neck cancer are unknown. Researchers cannot explain why people with similar health conditions and the same risk factors, are susceptible to the onset of the disease, while others do not.

mitted virus.
According to the statistics, head and neck cancer accounts only for about 4% of all cancers in the US. In 2019, an estimated 65,410 people (48,000 men and 17,410 women) were fund to develop head and neck cancer.
Most people diagnosed with head and neck cancer are older than 50.
The study included 17 patients with oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer who were treated with concomitant cisplatin and 70 Gy of radiotherapy with or without 2 packs of Prosure®per day during chemoradiotherapy.
* The rate of Grade 3-4 oral mucositis was significantly reduced for the patient groups that received Prosure®(CTCAE v3.0 GradeB3; 24% vs 58%, p<0.05).
Most importantly, the completion rate of chemoradiotherapy was not significantly different between both groups(77% vs 60%, NS).
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 cancer, researchers investigated the effect of a nutritional supplement with a high blend ratio of w-3 fatty acids(Prosure®) on body weight loss, oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer.

According to the final results,
* The reduction in body weight was significantly improved compared with that in the historical control group that did not receive Prosure®(7.3% vs 10.3%, p<0.01), * The rate of Grade 3-4 oral mucositis was significantly reduced for the patient groups that received Prosure®(CTCAE v3.0 GradeB3; 24% vs 58%, p<0.05).
Most importantly, the completion rate of chemoradiotherapy was not significantly different between both groups(77% vs 60%, NS).
Based on the evidence, researchers said, "A nutritional supplement with a high blend ratio of w-3 fatty acids(Prosure®)had effects on oral mucositis and body weight loss in head and neck cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy".
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.
