Abstract

Dietary guidance for men with prostate cancer on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) should focus on reducing the risk of prostate cancer-specific outcomes and other chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). National guidelines for both CVD prevention and cancer survivors recommend a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in red/processed meat, refined grains, and added fats and sugars. Additional observational studies and randomized controlled trials are needed to examine short- and long-term effects of diet on clinical, biological, and patient-reported outcomes for men treated with ADT.

Keywords: ADT; Cancer survivorship; Diet; Epidemiology; Hormone therapy; Modifiable risk factors.
