Inhibitory effects of soy and rye diets on the development of Dunning R3327 prostate adenocarcinoma in rats

Abstract

The present study shows that SD inhibits implanted prostate cancer growth. Although RB and HRB had a protective effect, further studies are needed to exclude the possibility that a low energy intake played a role in this respect. The results suggest that phytoestrogens (isoflavonoids and ligands), may be responsible for the delayed prostate tumor growth.
