Brief Summary:
Prostate cancer the most frequently diagnosed cancer among occidental men is associated with a major individual and societal burden Although still controversial the literature suggests that a high consumption of omega-3 fatty acids ω3 has protective effects against prostate cancer One of the proposed mechanisms of action of ω3 lies in their anti-inflammatory properties In addition there are some observational evidences suggesting an association of ω3 intake with a lower rate of depression in cancer patients However no clinical study has tested the efficacy of ω3 supplementation on psychological and quality of life outcomes in that population Several evidences point to a possible involvement of inflammation in psychological issues Reducing the systemic inflammatory state may have beneficial impact on the quality of life of these patients Preliminary work from this team of investigators in a cohort of patients managed with active surveillance for their low-grade prostate cancer show a strong inverse association between the risk of prostate cancer progression to high-grade and the level of prostatic eicosapentanoic acid EPA- a type of ω3
HYPOTHESIS EPA-rich monoglycerides fish oil MAG-EPA has global positive effects on prostate cancer cell proliferation inflammation and on the patients psychosocial functioning and quality of life
The investigators propose a double blind randomized controlled clinical trial 130 consecutive patients suffering from high-risk prostate cancer who choose to be treated by radical prostatectomy will be eligible to this study The presence of high-grade cancer will be mandatory
The intervention a daily supplementation with 3g supplement of fish oil monoglycerides rich in EPA vs placebo capsules containing high oleic sunflower oil will start six weeks before the prostatectomy and will continue for one year after surgery The potential confounding variables will be measured before the start of the intervention age anthropometric parameters stage and clinical and pathological tumor grade Gleason score pre-operative level of prostate specific antigen and diet
This project proposes a simple intervention by dietary supplementation that could eventually help to reduce the incidence andor progression of prostate cancer and the consequences of its treatment and thus could contribute to diminish the heavy individual and societal burden of prostate cancer The clinical data generated by this trial will serve as solid basis for a large-scale phase III clinical trial
