Recent studies have shown that diet plays a role in prostate cancer risk and progression. Diets like ultralow-carbohydrate, weight loss, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, and pro- and anti-inflammatory diets have been linked to affecting prostate cancer risk. Studies have shown that diets adhering to the US government’s recommendations and plant-based diets may lower the risk of prostate cancer progression. Urologist Stephen J. Freedland emphasizes the importance of diet in prostate cancer and the need for more randomized trials to test hypotheses. Researchers like Pao-Hwa Lin and Freedland are conducting trials to investigate the effects of various diets, supplements, and fasting on prostate cancer progression. Multiple dietary approaches are likely to be beneficial in managing prostate cancer.
