Do you know of any alternatives to surgery and radiation in reducing the growth of this disease via diet and exercise/ lifestyle change? - Prostate Cancer Centre

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a healthy diet are good ways to help fight cancer and an exercise counsellor and dietitian would be able to help you with that. If you have a diagnosis of cancer, it is important to follow up with your urologist. Depending on the cancer, you may be able to have active surveillance, where a urologist would be monitoring your PSA and performing digital rectal exams regularly. If the risk becomes higher, surgery or radiation may be recommended.
