A new study confirms that a plant-based diet with exercise can lower the risk of prostate cancer progressing or recurring., which were reported at the 2023 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium in February, are based on a study of 2,038 men with prostate cancer at stage T1, T2, or T3a.
The patients were interviewed about their diets at about 31.5 months after diagnosis. The study group was broken down into four groups based on how much of their diet consisted of a plant-based diet. Men in the highest quintile group who consumed at least 2.4 servings daily of fruit, 4.2 servings of vegetables, 2.6 servings of dairy, and 1.2 servings of meat , had a 52% lower risk of progression . At 7.4 years follow-up, there were 204 cases of progression.
"Patients often ask if there is anything that they can do to reduce the risk of recurrence, and it is great to be able to tell patients that a healthy lifestyle including plant-based foods and physical activity is helpful," Dr. Gupta said. "In the short-term, purchasing plant-based protein sources, such as beans and lentils, is less expensive than buying meat. Plant-based diets also reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, which are associated with hundreds of thousands of dollars over a lifetime," she said.
