title: Fatty acids and prostate cancer: current status and future challenges.
abstract: In this article the basic biology and function of fatty acids (FAs) will be reviewed. The literature relating to FAs and prostate cancer will be evaluated and possible mechanisms for the mode of action of FAs in the carcinogenesis and progression of prostate cancer will be discussed. In addition, the potential role for specific FAs in the treatment and prevention of prostate cancer will be assessed.
