title: [Role of dietary factors in prostate cancer development].
abstract: Diet has long been recognized as a strong factor in prostate carcinogenesis, with nutrients participating in either the development or the prevention of cancer. In this review, we concentrate on the role of dietary factors in prostate cancer development. The most significant dietary factors in prostate carcinogenesis are energy, total fat, animal fat, milk, calcium and red meat. However; evidence from case-control, epidemiological and laboratory studies does not support the causative role of any single nutritional component in prostate cancer development, and many questions remain to be further studied about the association of dietary factors with prostate cancer.
