The study reviews the available evidence for pharmaceutical and nutritional interventions aimed at preventing prostate cancer. It finds the strongest evidence to support the use of 5α-reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) for prevention, but emphasizes the need for further research to determine optimal timing and duration of use. The study also highlights the lack of sufficient evidence to recommend specific nutritional supplements or diets for prostate cancer prevention.
