In essence Omega 3 and 6 fats alter the activation and activity of genes in breast cancer cells

Estrogen receptor-dependent genomic expression profiles in breast cancer cells in response to fatty acids

"A case-case study that evaluated the association of dietary fat intake of selected fatty acids found that high intakes of linoleic acid in premenopausal breast cancer patients were associated with a threefold higher risk of ER− than ER+ tumors.[5]"

"A study of the dietary intake of fatty acids in premenopausal breast cancer patients found an association between linoleic acid intake and a higher risk of ER− than ER+ breast tumors.[5] The omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, are shown to inhibit the growth of ER− and ER+ breast cancer cells in vitro.[15,16]"
