Preliminary findings suggest fish oil supplementation increases chemotherapy efficacy, improves survival, and helps to maintain weight and muscle mass in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
However, in patients with gastric cancer, perioperative immunonutrition via an EPA-supplemented diet did not reduce body weight-loss after total gastrectomy compared with a standard diet. An EPA-enriched oral supplement improved tolerability of chemotherapy in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. And when combined with chemotherapy, fish oil supplementation may delay tumor progression in patients with colorectal cancer.
