Hepatoma is very common in much of Africa. In rat studies, it has been shown that dietary linoleic acid increases hepatoma growth 39 (figure 5), while indomethacin inhibits it. 40 Similarly, fish oil has been found to inhibit hepatic carcinogenesis, 41 and decrease growth. 42 It is probable that this effect of linoleic acid is mediated through PGE2. Portal PGE2 has also been shown to suppress liver-associated immunity, and promote the formation of hepatic metastases. 43
