Treatment of carcinoma in a human is disclosed, including administering a therapeutically effective amount of a fatty acid having four carbons with two conjugated double bonds formed by reacting an ester of a fatty acid with a tosyl chloride or a mesyl chloride, the fatty acid having four carbon atoms such that carbon one bears one hydrogen and one hydroxyl group, carbon two bears two hydrogens, and a double bond is positioned between carbon three and four. The tosylate or mesylate of the ester of the fatty acid having the chain of four carbon atoms such that carbon one bears one hydrogen and one hydroxyl group, carbon two bears two hydrogens, and a double bond is positioned between carbon three and four is reacted with diazabicyclo-undecene. The method includes administering to a human a highly purified fatty acid in accordance with the present invention.
