Abstract
The genesis,development,invasion,metastasis of malignant neoplasms can be inhibited by docosahexae-noic acid.The acid can also improve the function of immune systems,the sensibility of tumor cells to chemotherapeutics.As a result,the docosahexaenoic acid may be used to reduce the dosage of chemtherapeutics,relieve adverse reaction,and prolong the survival time of patients.This article mainly reviews some issues pertinent to docosahexaenoic acids such as how to induce the apoptosis of cells,facilitate the response of lipid peroxidation and inhibit tumor angiogenesis in terms of epidemiology level,cytomolecule level and animal level.The article also gives some technical insights about the prospects of clinical application for docosahexaenoic acid.
