Abstract
The effect of sampling site and proximity of malignant tumor on the relative fatty acid composition of human breast adipose tissue was studied in 10 cases of breast cancer. The four anatomic quadrants of breast did not statistically significantly differ from each other in relation to any of the 30 fatty acids studied. Proximity of the malignant tumor did not affect the relative fatty acid composition of fat when compared with more distant sampling sites. Representative samples of breast adipose tissue for fatty acid composition analysis can be obtained from tissue adjacent to the tumor.
