title: Nutrition and prostate cancer.
abstract: Scientific evidence suggests that differences in the diet may, in large part, account for the variability of prostate cancer rates around the world. Epidemiologic studies and animal experiments have yielded compelling results to warrant clinical intervention studies on nutrition from scientists who work on the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer. This article reviews the most recent evidence as to possible mechanisms of action of various dietary constituents, and explores evidence of various nutritional strategies for the prevention of prostate cancer progression.
