Tomato and broccoli can slow prostate tumor growth, study says
January 23, 2007 - Tomatoes and broccoli contain substances believed to help slow prostate tumor growth. Now, researchers say that eating both at the same time is better than eating them separately.

The study in the journal Cancer Research also finds that the whole foods are more effective in fighting cancer than lycopene supplements.
Researchers at the University of Illinois say the most concentrated veggie combination enhanced tumor destruction and slowed their growth.

It's recommended men have about two and a half cups of tomatoes or one cup of tomato sauce along with about a cup and a half of broccoli every day.

Q: Once a prostate gland has been removed because of cancer, can diet help prevent the cancer from recurring?
A: Nobody knows for certain. Obviously, if all the cancer cells and prostate cells have been removed by surgery, then dietary supplements would not be needed to prevent recurrence. If any cancer cells were left behind, perhaps, they could help prevent these cancer cells from accumulating more mutations and becoming more aggressive.

I would ask your proctologist for a menu.

You'll find out that you want high fiber and of course lots of vitamins. And, if you can handle eating them, they are testing fresh chili peppers for qualities that are very beneficial to fellows in your situation. I'd do some research on it.

Good luck with that.
