According to a recent study, fish intake may improve prostate cancer survival rates. The study examined 20,167 men participating in the Physician’s Health Study who were free of cancer in 1983. Researchers recorded that 2,161 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and 230 died of prostate cancer during a follow-up period. While fish intake was unrelated to prostate cancer incidence, analysis revealed that those consuming fish five times a week had a 48% lower risk of prostate cancer death than did men consuming fish less than once weekly. A similar association was found between seafood Omega-3 fatty acid intake and prostate cancer.
