Prostate cancer halted in 36% making simple changes to diet and exercise

A study found that almost four in ten patients with aggressive prostate cancer did not need planned surgery or radiotherapy after making simple lifestyle changes.

Doctors found that the adjustments slowed down or even halted the progression of their disease.

And they claim that there is no reason that the benefits could not be seen in other types of cancer.

Previous studies have shown that adopting a more healthy lifestyle can help to prevent different types of cancer developing.

Rising obesity rates have been linked to at least six different types of cancer, including breast cancer, the most common form of the disease in women.

Researchers at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridgeshire decided to test the effects of adopting a healthy lifestyle in 110 men who had been diagnosed with the aggressive form of prostate cancer.

Changes made included cutting down on salt and alcohol, eating more oily fish, losing weight and taking moderate amounts of regular exercise.
