ABSTRACT

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most diagnosed cancers in the world. Diet is one of the modifiable factors that may affect PCa risk and progression. The article summarizes the known correlations between dietary fat and protein intake and prostate cancer (PCa) development. Additionally, it describes the impact of nutritional modifications on prostate cancer (PCa) prevalence and potential clinical outcomes. Individualized nutritional strategies may contribute to more effective oncological prevention. Nevertheless, further studies are required to validate our findings.
