This review describes a randomised study comparing ω-3–rich enteral nutrition (EN) with ω-3–poor EN in patients undergoing cisplatin-based chemotherapy, as we don’t know a lot yet about the effect of ω-3 fatty acids on reducing chemotherapy-related toxicities. ω-3–rich EN lessened the incidence of chemotherapy-related mucosal toxicities and had a hepatoprotective effect during the chemotherapy.
