We at the Prostate Cancer Research Institute receive questions on a regular basis about diet, lifestyle, and prostate cancer (and if you would ever like to ask us a question about that or anything related to prostate cancer, contact our helpline at pcri.org/helpline). Unfortunately, diet and lifestyle questions are notoriously difficult to investigate in a truly scientific manner and insights on these topics are few and far between. Recently, though, a prospective study was published looking at the diet and lifestyle of 12,000 men with prostate cancer over 20 years. They found an equal incidence of prostate cancer in men with healthy and unhealthy lifestyles; however, they also found that there was a lower mortality rate from prostate cancer in men with healthier lifestyles.
