Abstract

Certain members of essential fatty acids (EFAs) are known to have anticancer functions. It has been established in recent years that some of these anticancer actions are via the effects of these fatty acids on the adhesive properties of cancer cells, including cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesions. These discoveries have implicated EFAs as a group of novel agents, able to regulate adhesive function of cancer cells and thus bearing clinical importance.
