Fish Oil Supplements to Help Treat Breast Cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking omega-3 fish oil supplements (a type of healthy fat) alongside standard breast cancer treatment can help make the treatment work better. You'd take the supplements while receiving chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or other cancer drugs your doctor already planned for you.
