Associations of Plasma Omega-6 and Omega-3 Fatty Acids with Overall and 19 Site-Specific Cancers

This presentation will review the results of a large prospective cohort study examining fatty acid intake in relation to site-specific cancers.

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CEU self-assessment and CEU evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 30 minutes.  

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, and dietitians. 

The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 0.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. 

Objectives: 

• Evaluate the longitudinal associations of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids with the overall cancer incidence.
• Compare the association effects of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids across site-specific cancers.
• Evaluate the impacts of different measurement units for fatty acids, comparing relative percentages with absolute concentrations. 

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
