Omega 3 curbs precancerous growths in those prone to bowel cancer
Eicosapentaenoic acid reduces rectal polyp number and size in familial adenomatous polyposisA purified form of an omega 3 cuts the number and size of precancerous bowel growths (polyps) in people whose genetic make-up predisposes them to bowel cancer, finds research published ahead of print in the journal Gut.Furthermore, this particular omega 3 (eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA) seems to be as effective as the prescription medicine used to treat familial bowel polyps, but without the associated cardiovascular side effects.The researchers base their findings on 55 patients, all of whom had the inherited genetic mutation that prompts the development of precancerous polyps in the bowel - known as familial adenomatous polyposis, or FAP for short.People with FAP are at significantly increased risk of developing bowel cancer and require surgery to remove large sections of their bowel.
