Fish oil may delay hormone therapy in prostate cancer patients
NCT ID NCT03753334
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a daily high-dose omega-3 supplement (fish oil) can slow the rise of PSA levels in men whose prostate cancer has returned after initial treatment. About 40 men with a rising PSA but no spread will take either the supplement or a placebo for one year. The goal is to see if omega-3s can delay the need for hormone therapy, which often has harsh side effects.
