Scientists have recently reported that in spite of recommendations to reduce the chances of developing prostate cancer by following a low-fat diet that excludes fatty nuts, that some nuts may actually reduce a man's risk of developing prostate cancer and/or slow the growth of an existing prostate cancer.

Men given Avodart, generically known as dutasteride, were found in a study to have slower progression of low-risk prostate cancer. According to the study authors, the drug may offer a non-surgicaloption for treating the disease, combined with surveillance.
