摘要：

Epidemiologic studies have suggested that men consuming tomato products have a lower risk of prostate cancer. Tomato products may contain a number of components that could influence risk. Lycopene is the carotenoid in tomato products that provides the familiar red color and has been demonstrated in laboratory studies to be a potent antioxidant. Ongoing studies will further characterize the potential benefits of tomato products or lycopene for the prevention of prostate cancer.
