What is the Origin of Prostate Cancer Nutrition?

The concept originates from extensive epidemiological and molecular research demonstrating a strong correlation between dietary patterns, hormonal milieu, and prostate cancer incidence and progression. The field evolved from general nutritional advice to a targeted, evidence-based clinical strategy that leverages the metabolic vulnerabilities of the tumor.

What is the Mechanism of Prostate Cancer Nutrition?

The nutritional mechanism primarily involves modulating the androgen-receptor signaling axis, as prostate cancer growth is often hormone-dependent. Diets rich in specific phytochemicals, such as lycopene and isoflavones, can influence androgen metabolism and receptor expression. Furthermore, reducing systemic inflammation through omega-3 fatty acids and limiting pro-inflammatory dietary components can suppress the tumor microenvironment, thereby inhibiting angiogenesis and metastasis, and enhancing the efficacy of conventional therapies.

Prostate Cancer Nutrition

Meaning

Prostate Cancer Nutrition is a specialized clinical domain focusing on the use of dietary and supplemental interventions as an adjuvant strategy to standard medical treatments for prostate carcinoma, or as a preventative measure. This approach targets specific metabolic and hormonal pathways, such as androgen signaling and inflammation, to potentially slow disease progression, reduce treatment side effects, and improve overall quality of life. It integrates oncology with molecular nutrition.
