Brief Summary: RATIONALE Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs or supplements to keep cancer from forming growing or coming back The use of omega-3 fatty acids may prevent breast cancer

PURPOSE This randomized clinical trial is studying how well omega-3 fatty acids work in preventing breast cancer in women at high risk of developing breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on mammographic breast density MBD in women at high risk of developing breast cancer

Secondary

Determine preliminarily the effects of this supplement on cell atypia and breast cell proliferation measured in ductal lavage specimens from these patients
Determine the effects of this supplement on circulating hormone and growth factor blood levels in these patients
Determine the effects of this supplement on the expression of estrogen-related proteins found in ductal lavage specimens from these patients
Determine the effects of this supplement on plasma lipid peroxidation levels in these patients
Correlate the modifying effect of lipid peroxidation-related genes with MBD in patients treated with this supplement

OUTLINE This is a randomized pilot study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive oral placebo three times daily for 12 months
Arm II Patients receive oral omega-3 fatty acids three times daily for 12 months

In both arms treatment continues in the absence of the development of ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma of the breast or unacceptable toxicity

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 80 patients 40 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
