(n-3）脂肪酸和癌症治疗

(n-3) Fatty Acids and Cancer Therapy

在2004年在“营养杂志”发表的一份报告中，路易斯安那州立大学的W. Elaine Hardman博士表示，ω-3脂肪酸可单独使用或与化疗一起使用来治疗癌症，包括肺癌，结肠癌，乳腺癌和前列腺癌。

In a report published in 2004 in the Journal of Nutrition, Dr. W. Elaine Hardman at Louisiana State University suggests omega 3 fatty acids may be used alone or together with chemotherapy  to treat cancers including lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer.

报告称，补充含有ω-3脂肪酸的纯ω-3脂肪酸或油可以减轻荷瘤小鼠中各种癌症（包括肺癌，结肠癌，乳腺癌和前列腺癌）的生长。

The report claims that supplementation of the diet for tumor-bearing mice or rats with pure omega-3 fatty acid or oils with omega 3 fatty acids slowed the growth of various cancers including lung cancer, colon cancer, mammary cancer and prostate cancer.

当使用ω-3脂肪酸和癌症化疗药物如多柔比星，表柔比星，CPT-11,5-氟尿嘧啶和他莫昔芬时，化疗的疗效提高。

When omega 3 fatty acids are used along with cancer chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin, epirubicin, CPT-11, 5-fluorouracil and tamoxifen , the efficacy of the chemotherapy was improved.

当饮食中含有（n-3）脂肪酸时，癌症化疗药物如多柔比星，表柔比星，CPT-11,5-氟尿嘧啶和他莫昔芬的疗效得到改善。

The efficacy of cancer chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin, epirubicin, CPT-11, 5-fluorouracil, and tamoxifen has been improved when the diet included (n-3) fatty acids.

多柔比星旨在治疗乳腺癌，膀胱癌，卡波西氏肉瘤，淋巴瘤和急性淋巴细胞性白血病。 5-氟尿嘧啶也用于治疗结肠癌，食管癌，胃癌，胰腺癌，乳腺癌和子宫颈癌。

Doxorubicin is intended to treat breast cancer, bladder cancer, Kaposi’s sarcoma, lymphoma, and acute lymphocytic leukemia.   5-fluorouracil is used to treat colon cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer.

欧米加3脂肪酸如何帮助治疗癌症是未知的。 ω3（n-3）脂肪酸可能通过调节类花生酸生成和炎症，增殖，血管生成，凋亡和雌激素信号来抑制癌症。

It is unknown how omega 3 fatty acids help treat cancer.  It is possible that omega 3 (n-3) fatty acids suppress cancer through modulation of eicosanoid production and inflammation, proliferation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and estrogen signaling.

研究了Omega 3脂肪酸对许多癌症（包括肺癌，结肠癌，乳腺癌和前列腺癌）的抗癌性，Omega 3依赖酸可抑制癌症相关的恶病质，并改善生活质量。使用ω-3脂肪酸可以改善化疗对乳腺癌患者的疗效。

Omega 3 fatty acids were studied for their anticancer property against many cancers including lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer,  Omega 3 fatty acids suppress cancer-associated cachexia and improve the quality of life.    Using omega 3 fatty acids improved the efficacy of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.

作者提出，欧米加3脂肪酸可以单独使用或与化疗/放射治疗联合使用，以改善癌症治疗结果，缓解或预防肺癌，结肠癌，乳腺癌和前列腺癌患者的癌症复发。欧米加3脂肪酸可用于不能用标准毒性癌症治疗的癌症患者。(刘大卫)

The author suggests that omega 3 fatty acids can be used alone or in combination with chemotherapy/radiation therapy to improve cancer treatment outcome and slow or prevent cancer recurrence in patients with lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer.  Omega 3 fatty acids may be used in cancer patients who could not be treated with standard toxic cancer treatments.
