There aren't as many definite answers about diet and prostate cancer as we would like, but what we do know is that studies have shown that certain dietary components can cause or protect against cancer.1
These are just a few of the things wives and daughters who want to help their loved one say to the support crew manning the Prostate Conditions Education Council (PCEC) hotline.

"Men living with prostate cancer who adopt a healthier lifestyle can have better outcomes. That's the bottom line," says Wendy Poage, president of Prostate Conditions Education Council (PCEC), a non-profit founded in 1989. Whether you're the one living with advanced prostate cancer, or you want to support a husband, father, or neighbor, you can prepare home-cooked meals packed with these power foods. Talk to your healthcare team about lifestyle changes, including those to your diet. Be sure to print and stash your custom grocery list, and keep it handy when shopping or share it with a loved one doing a grocery run for you.
