At the beginning of the study, all patients received nutritional counselling, where half of the study subjects are randomly assigned to a treatment arm with milled seed mix consumption, or control arm without seed mix. Treatment arm is provided with 450g of milled seed mix and instructed to consume 30g of the mix daily (18g flax seed, 6g pumpkin seeds, and 6 g sesame) in 180 mL of sour milk. Control arm is instructed to consume180 mL of sour milk.Masking: Double (Care Provider, Investigator)Masking Description: Single blindPrimary Purpose: Treatment

Cancers are characterized by inflammation and alternations in lipid and fatty acid metabolism. Patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma have impaired fatty acid profiles, low level of PUFAs, and high n-6/n-3 PUFAs ratio. Moreover, these changes are related to clinical outcome.

Cancers are characterized by inflammation and alternations in lipid and fatty acid metabolism. Patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma have impaired fatty acid profiles, low level of PUFAs, and high n-6/n-3 PUFAs ratio. Moreover, these changes are related to clinical outcome. Flax seeds, sesame and pumpkin seeds are rich sources of PUFAs. Dietary intake of milled mix of these seeds has been shown to decrease inflammation and improve PUFAs status in patients on hemodialysis and to decrease breast cancer risk. The study design is single-blind, controlled, randomized nutritional intervention. The participants are randomly assigned into intervention and control group before starting chemotherapy. All patients receive nutritional counseling to achieve a daily energy and protein intake according to recommended dietary allowances, with (intervention) or without (control) of milled seed mix.
