Prostate cancer poses a significant health challenge, warranting innovative therapeutic strategies. This review explores the potential of plant-based diets and comprehensive lifestyle modifications as a non-chemotherapy approach to prostate cancer reversal. While chemotherapy is the conventional treatment for advanced prostate cancer, the adverse effects it entails have driven the exploration of alternative, less invasive interventions. The analysis considers a wide range of research, including interventional and observational studies, revealing the positive impact of plant-based diets on short-term oncologic outcomes, general health, and nutrition. Lifestyle interventions significantly reduced the need for conventional treatments, demonstrating the potential for delaying or avoiding them altogether. Furthermore, adopting plant- based diets exhibited a notable association with lower risks of advanced and fatal prostate cancer. Although direct evidence on prostate cancer reversal without chemotherapy remains limited, the reviewed studies underscore the importance of dietary and lifestyle adjustments in mitigating prostate cancer risks and enhancing overall outcomes. Further research is needed to explore the long-term implications of whole-food plant-based diets and to develop targeted interventions for prostate cancer prevention and treatment without chemotherapy.
