That’s a real small group to conclude those results...and everyone has a different metabolism. They would have to also be doing the exact same amount of exercise, food/water intake etc.

Very excellent point! It is important to note that this thesis has not been proven! But the researchers in the article are not making that claim as they are using the words to indicate that these are only preliminary findings:
“The study indicates that fish oil may help combat cancer-related malnutrition” and “Researchers suspect that supplementing the diet with fish oil”
Nevertheless, the findings are such that it would be indicated to pursue further research in this direction. I know if I were undergoing chemo, I would be wanting to see if there were anything I could do to give myself and edge. A natural substance such as fish oil which does so many good things for the body anyway would be excellent to try as a support to the body during chemo, imho, especially since there at least are some preliminary indicators that show it could actually be helpful.
