Prostate cancer is the second most common malignant tumor in men. Despite therapeutic advances, post-diagnostic management remains a major challenge, particularly regarding modifiable factors such as diet. While plant-based foods are known for their role in primary prevention, their impact on disease progression after diagnosis remains uncertain.
This U.S. prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the association between post-diagnosis plant-based dietary intake and the risk of prostate cancer progression or disease-specific mortality. The objective was to determine whether adopting a predominantly plant-based diet after diagnosis could slow the clinical course of the disease.
