Since the publication of our paper, it has been brought to our attention that another group, Davis et al., has previously conducted research suggesting a similar mechanism of dietary ω-3 fatty acids exerting control over prostate cancer growth by diminishing IGF-1 axis activity and decreasing cholesterol availability for androgen biosynthesis. We were not aware of this work prior to publication of our study and now, retroactively, cite their paper below as a useful reference to help place our work in a greater scientific context. We apologize for any confusion this oversight may have caused.
