Prevention

You can take steps that may lower your chances of getting prostate cancer.¹¹

Eat more low-fat, high-fiber foods, or foods with omega-3 fatty acids, such as:

• Soy products, like tofu and soy beans.
• Tomatoes and foods that contain tomato sauce.
• Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.
• Fish, like salmon, albacore tuna, and sardines.
• Walnuts and flaxseed, and their oils.

Researchers are looking into other things that may help prevent prostate cancer. These include:

• Medicines, such as finasteride or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
• Drinking red wine or green tea.
• Supplements, such as vitamins D and E, and selenium.
