Randomized study of the clinical effects of omega-3 fatty acid-containing enteral nutrition support during neoadjuvant chemotherapy on chemotherapy-related toxicity in patients with esophageal cancer

摘要

Objectives: Omega-3 (omega-3) fatty acids have potential positive effects during chemotherapy, such as body weight maintenance and muscle mass preservation. However, little is known about the effect this supplement might have on reducing chemotherapy-induced toxicities. The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in the reduction of chemotherapy-related toxicities.
