Methods: The authors conducted a meta-analysisof published research articles on protective effect of omega-3 fatty acids in fish consumption against breast cancer inAsian patients published between January 2000 and July 2018 in online database of PubMed, ProQuest and EBSCO.Pooled odds ratios (OR) were calculated by using fixed and random-effect models. Publication bias was visuallyevaluated by using funnel plots and statistically assessed in Egger’s and Begg’s tests. Data were processed by ReviewManager 5.3 (RevMan 5.3) and Stata version 14.2 (Stata Corporation). Results: This study reviewed 913 articles.There were 11 studies which conducted systematic review then continued by meta-analysis of relevant data with totalnumber of samples were 130,365 patients. The results showed there was protective effect of omega-3 fatty acids in fishconsumption against breast cancer in Asian patients (OR = 0.80 [95% CI 0.73-0.87, p <0.00001]). There was not anystudy with significant publication bias included. Conclusion: This analysis confirmed the protective effect of omega-3fatty acids in fish consumption against breast cancer in Asian patients.}, keywords = {Breast Neoplasms,fatty acids,Omega-3,fish consumption}, url = {https://journal.waocp.org/article_82369.html}, eprint = {https://journal.waocp.org/article_82369_64937ca8a2cc366c0e4a0d5d66004a96.pdf} }
