    Prostate cancer can be successfully treated. Over 2 million men in the U.S. are prostate cancer survivors. It is diagnosed in 80 percent of men, aged around 80 years. It is the second most common type of cancer in men worldwide. In the developed countries, the rate of prostate cancer is high and the researchers link this increased rate to westernized diet and lifestyle.

    The latest study led by researchers at the University of Bristol found that, men who consume more than 10 portions of tomato every week are at an 18 percent reduced risk of developing prostate cancer.

    In this study, the researchers investigated if dietary and lifestyle recommendations lowered the risk of prostate cancer. They focused on the diet and lifestyle of 1,806 men aged between 50-69 years who were diagnosed with prostate cancer. These subjects were then compared to a group (12005 men) of controls who were cancer-free.
