Prostate cancer is much more likely to be life-threatening if tumour cells migrate and invade other tissues, such as the bone marrow.
Lab tests found omega-3 oil - present in fish like salmon - prevented this.
The results of the study, based at Manchester's Christie Hospital, are in the British Journal of Cancer.The Paterson Institute researchers tested the effect of two types of dietary fat on prostate cancer cells in the lab.
Previous research has suggested omega-3 fats, which is also found in mackerel and fresh tuna, may help cut the risk of cancer - and other conditions, such as heart disease.
Omega-6 fats, found in vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, also play a key role in keeping us healthy.
