摘要
Epidemiological research on prostate cancer risk in men throughout the world has identified significant correlations between dietary habits and prostate cancer occurrence. These studies served as a catalyst for exploration into the potential of dietary substances to act as chemopreventive agents against this disease, and include green tea catechins, lycopene, soy isoflavones, pomegranate phenolics, selenium, vitamins E and D, curcumin and resveratrol. Before these agents (in the dietary or purified forms) can be recommended as useful chemopreventive strategies for patients, their activity must be confirmed in rigorously designed clinical trials. This review discusses the preclinical and clinical data available for these dietary agents and describes relevant clinical trials currently being conducted.
