Can stage 1 prostate cancer be prevented?

Risk of stage 1 prostate cancer can be reduced by eating a healthy diet, exercising, and regular doctor visits. There is no proven method to completely eliminate the risk of developing any stage of prostate cancer, but studies have linked certain nutrients in fruits and vegetables, such as lycopene - found in tomatoes - with prevention of the disease. Being aware of your risk factors can also help in prevention of the disease. If you have a family history of prostate cancer, for example, you should start screening for the disease at an earlier age.
