This study is designed to gather information on how the prescription drug Lovaza™ which contains omega-3 fatty acids, affects blood and tissue risk biomarkers for breast cancer. This drug is currently approved by the FDA for reducing blood levels of triglycerides.
The central hypothesis is that 6 months of administration of high dose omega-3 fatty acid esters [eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 1860 mg, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) 1500 mg] daily in the form of a standard prescription strength dose of Lovaza™ (two 1 gram capsules twice daily) will have a favorable side effect profile and potential efficacy as demonstrated by favorable modulation of one or more blood and breast tissue risk biomarkers for breast cancer in premenopausal women.

| The Proportion of Subjects That Complete an Intervention of Lovaza™ 4 Grams Per Day | The proportion of subjects that complete an intervention of Lovaza™ 4 grams per day (~ 1800 mg EPA and 1500 mg DHA) administered for 6 months to premenopausal women under age 55. | 6 month visit |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Modulation of the Risk Biomarker Masood Score | Change in the semiquantitative cytology index score (Masood score) from baseline to end of study. Masood Score range 6 - 24; increasing values denote increasing cytologic abnormality. Thus, negative values for change reflect an improvement, i.e., less cytologic abnormality after intervention. | 6 month value compared to baseline value |

Inclusion Criteria
Exclusion Criteria
Inclusion of Women and Minorities
-This study utilizes women at increased risk for breast cancer. Subjects recruited from an established cohort of women followed in the Breast Cancer Prevention Center. From previous trials we can expect 6% minority accrual which is similar to our hospital demographics. Males are not included due to the low absolute risk of breast cancer, and the difficulty of performing RPFNA on the male breast.

| Change in (DHA+EPA):AA Ratio for Phospholipids in Plasma. | Change (from baseline to end of study) for the ratio derived from levels of DHA, EPA, and Arachadonic Acid (AA); measured as percent of total fatty acid content in the phospholipid compartment of plasma. | baseline to end of intervention (~6 months) |
| Change in Quality of Life. | Change in score on Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (BCPT) Symptom Checklist. 43 symptoms, each scored as 0 to 4, are summed to provide a global score (range 0 to 172). Increasing score represents increasing problems with side effects. For change in score over period of intervention, a negative score indicates an improvement in quality of life while a positive score indicates increasing interference with daily activities due to worsening symptoms. Theoretically, the range of change could be -172 to +172. | duration of intervention, baseline to ~ 6 months |
