Nutrition and Diet in the Prevention and Management of Prostate Cancer in Mexico: A Narrative Review

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among men and represents a significant public health challenge, particularly in Mexico, where it is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Early prevention strategies are urgently needed due to the disease's aggressive progression and its impact on long-term survival. Nutritional interventions have garnered increasing attention, especially in light of risk factors such as aging, obesity, and adipose tissue dysfunction, which contribute to elevated prostate cancer risk. As incidence continues to rise among men over 50, promoting diet-based strategies for prevention and management is of growing importance. This study aims to analyze global scientific evidence regarding the role of diet in the prevention and management of prostate cancer, while also examining the social, economic, and cultural factors that influence the implementation of these strategies within the Mexican population.
