“This significant difference suggests that the dietary changes may help slow cancer growth, potentially delaying or even preventing the need for more aggressive treatments,” said Aronson, who is also chief of urologic oncology at the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

A study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators offers new evidence that dietary changes may help reduce cancer cell growth in patients undergoing active surveillance, a treatment approach that involves regular monitoring of the cancer without immediate intervention.

Men with low-risk prostate cancer who opt for watchful waiting may slow cancer progression by increasing omega-3 intake, a new study suggests. Patients who took fish oil supplements and reduced unhealthy fats showed a 15 per cent decline in cancer cell growth.

Study shows a low omega-6, high omega-3 diet with fish oil supplements significantly reduces prostate cancer cell growth in early-stage patients.
