Please see the Greek Diet Thread.
I have set a new title in case Omega 3 and 6 might catch the interest and the Greek Diet did not for new visitors to the site who are not aware the Greek Diet thread is primarily about omegas 3 and 6 in diet.

Modulation of angiogenesis by omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is mediated by cyclooxygenases.

"Both epidemiologic and experimental findings suggest that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFAs), which are almost absent from typical Western diets, exert protective effects against cancer progression, although the precise mechanism of this suppression remains unknown. One of the potential targets for omega-3 PUFAs in cancer suppression is angiogenesis, a process of new blood vessel formation within rapidly growing tumors.
Here, we demonstrate that omega-6 PUFAs stimulate and omega-3 PUFAs inhibit major proangiogenic processes in human endothelial cells, including the induction of angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) and matrix metalloprotease-9, endothelial invasion, and tube formation, that are usually activated by the major omega-6 PUFA arachidonic acid"
