Japanese diet and prostate cancer

Traditional Japanese diet and prostate cancer.

"In conclusion, although it is possible that the traditional Japanese diet may reduce the risk of prostate cancer through a combination of characteristics such as being high in soybean products, high in fish, and low in red meat, further well-designed epidemiological studies such as nested case-control studies with nutritional analyses of blood samples are needed to confirm this association."
