Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most widespread cancers diagnosed in men in the United States and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. PCa will be a major cancer-related burden both socially and economically in the near future. It has been shown that dietary intake of natural anti-inflammatory agents are capable of inhibiting cancer progression, but due to the nature of dietary studies it is difficult to accurately conclude that diet is capable of impacting chronic diseases and mortality.This systematic review aims to collect and evaluate literature focused on prostate cancer progression and the natural …

Prostate cancer is a disease that has a high prevalence and mortality amongst men. The severity of the cancer is stratified by risk, which is based on the Gleason grade, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, and clinical staging. Unlike breast cancer which can be classified into subtypes based on molecular heterogeneity, prostate cancer has no such classification and is treated with observation, prostatectomy, or radiation if local, and non-specific chemotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) if metastatic. It is of the utmost importance to investigate molecular targets that can specifically eradicate prostate cancer while retaining the functions of normal tissue. Receptor …
