Summary

This study looked at whether taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements can reduce joint pain and stiffness caused by aromatase inhibitors, a common hormone therapy for breast cancer. 77 postmenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer or at high risk took omega-3 supplements soon after starting their medication. The goal was to see if this approach helps patients stick with their treatment by easing side effects.
