Abstract
LEE and FAIR, Department of Surgery and Prostate Diagnostic Center, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY 10021 USA write that surgeons continue to be faced with difficulties in treating prostate cancer, which remains the leading cause of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Additionally, in the era of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), physicians must also determine which if any therapies are appropriate for the treatment of a biochemical or PSA relapse. The authors review (79 references) the evidence regarding certain nutrients in carcinogenesis and cancer progression .
