A healthy diet may help prevent low-risk prostate cancer from progressing more aggressively during active surveillance, a study from the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) School of Medicine has found. Active surveillance is when doctors carefully monitor the growth of a tumor and is an alternative to treatment that could have adverse effects.
The diet was based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The balanced eating plan includes fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and plant and animal protein sources.
