Fish Consumption Reduces Cancer Risk

Even small amounts of fish can reduce risks for colorectal and other cancers, according to new research. Writing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Dr. Esteve Fernandez and colleagues from the University of Barcelona noted that numerous studies have shown that high dietary consumption of fish is protective against cardiovascular disease. But, they said, less attention has been paid to the role of fish consumption in cancer risk.

Addressing this issue, the researchers compared the fish consumption of over 10,000 hospitalized Italian cancer patients with that of nearly 8,000 patients without cancer. Subjects were divided into three groups-those who consumed less than one serving of fish per week, those consuming about one serving per week, and those eating two or more servings per week.

The investigators found that subjects in the "2 or more servings" group had a much lower risk for specific cancers compared with those who avoided fish.

The authors caution that high fish consumption may simply be a marker for healthy diets and lifestyles that reduce cancer risks. On the other hand, they speculate that high levels of fatty acids found in fish and fish oil may help reduce cancer risks. Laboratory studies have suggested that these compounds inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
