We at the Prostate Cancer Research Ins****ute receive questions on a regular basis about diet, lifestyle, and prostate cancer (and if you would ever like to ask us a question about that or anything related to prostate cancer, contact our helpline at pcri.org/helpline).

They found an equal incidence of prostate cancer in men with healthy and unhealthy lifestyles; however, they also found that there was a lower mortality rate from prostate cancer in men with healthier lifestyles.
