First seen Nov 25, 2025 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 18 times

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 visible 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.
