Prospective study of plasma fatty acids and risk of prostate cancer.
Although some evidence suggests that dietary fat intake is related to prostate cancer, epidemiologic studies have been inconsistent. ⋯ The effects of dietary alpha-linolenic acid, particularly from vegetable sources, warrant further study. The effects of dietary linoleic acid and marine fatty acids seen in animal bioassays might not apply to human prostate cancer.
