CAN DIET IN CONJUNCTION WITH STRESS REDUCTION AFFECT THE RATE OF INCREASE IN PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN AFTER BIOCHEMICAL RECURRENCE OF PROSTATE CANCER?

Abstract

Our small study provides evidence that a plant-based diet delivered in the context of MBSR decreases the rate of PSA increase and may slow the rate of tumor progression in cases of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. Larger-scale randomized studies are warranted to explore further the preventive and therapeutic potential of diet and lifestyle modification in men with prostate cancer.
