An intensive diet and lifestyle program can slow – or possibly stop – the growth of early prostate cancer.

A new study shows that diet may play a significant role in stopping, or even reversing, early prostate cancer. Exercising more frequently, even in moderation, may also go a long way in retarding the disease.

The study findings apply only to men with early prostate cancer. This means that under a microscope the cancer cells do not appear aggressive. It also means that the prostate cancer had not spread outside the prostate.

No man should ever rely on lifestyle changes alone to treat prostate cancer without first talking to their doctor."
