Abstract

The effects of oil of evening primrose oil on fibroadenomas was assessed over a 6-month period. Eleven out of 21 (52%) of fibroadenomas receiving evening primrose oil and 8 out of 19 (42%) controls reduced in size. This study demonstrates that evening primrose oil does not significantly effect the natural history of breast fibroadenomas.
