[Can the development of prostate cancer be prevented?].
Prostate cancer is the most frequent cancer in men living in industrialized countries. Numerous epidemiological and laboratory studies suggest that various hereditary, toxic, hormonal, and dietary factors may be involved in the development and/or progression of prostate cancer lesions. Several large prospective randomized trials for the chemo-prevention of prostate cancer are currently ongoing. In this review, data regarding the implication of dietary factors have been analyzed under the light of recent literature in order to determine whether proven efficient prevention is available today.
