Primary outcomePrimary: Fatty Acid Synthase Expression by Immunohistochemistry at Pre- and Post-intervention (FAS Summary Score) — 147; 158.8; 138.3; 102.3 units on a scale — p=0.1521
Summary
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of fish oil and/or green tea may prevent prostate cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well a fish oil and/or green tea supplement works in preventing prostate cancer in patients with prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia or who are at risk for developing prostate cancer.
