Most prostate cancer is the slow growing kind and one can try diet without great risk. Clark Howard, the consumer advocate who has his own radio program, has prostate cancer. He's in his 50s and has chosen not to have any treatment. I believe he calls it "watchful waiting". He announced this about 2 or more years ago and is still working and doing well. Whether diet is a part of his plan or not, he didn't mention.
