Prostate Cancer

How can prostate cancer be prevented?

There are no proven preventive strategies for prostate cancer. And at present, there is a lack of evidence to support population-based screening for prostate cancer in Singapore. However, adopting a healthy lifestyle can help prevent the risk of prostate cancer. This includes: 

• Eating a diet rich in fruit, vegetables and whole grains, while limiting the consumption of fat 
• Quitting or not starting smoking 
  
• Limiting alcohol consumption 
  
• Keeping fit and doing regular exercise
