Soy Consumption and the Risk of Prostate Cancer: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TLDR
It is demonstrated that soy foods and their isoflavones (genistein and daidzein) are associated with a lower risk of prostate carcinogenesis, and evidence from observational studies shows a statistically significant association between soy consumption and decreased PCa risk.
Association between dietary protein intake and prostate cancer risk: evidence from a meta-analysis
TLDR
It is concluded that protein intake may be not associated on prostate cancer, and the association was not significant with animal or vegetable protein intake.
Flavonoids intake and risk of prostate cancer: a meta‐analysis of observational studies
TLDR
Higher intake of flavonoids may not be associated with prostate cancer risk, according to a meta‐analysis of five studies including four prospective cohort studies and one case–control study.
Habitual Consumption of Soy Products and Risk of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in Chinese Adults: A Case-Control Study
TLDR
Hitual consumption of soy products had no significant effect on the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Chinese adults with a relatively low intake.
Nutrition and prostate cancer: review of the evidence
TLDR
The evidence on any potential association between diet and prostate cancer is weak, and the reductionist approach considering individual nutritional factors is not suitable, and conducting more observational studies or small randomised trials evaluating the impact ofindividual nutritional factors on prostate cancer will not bring further answers.
Phytoestrogens and risk of prostate cancer: a meta-analysis of observational studies
TLDR
The overall current literature suggests that phytoestrogen intake is associated with a decreased risk of PCa, especially genistein and daidzein intake and increased serum concentration of enterolactone.
Legume intake and risk of prostate cancer: a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies
TLDR
A meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies suggests that a high intake of legumes is associated with a low incidence of prostate cancer.
Systematic Review and Meta-analysis on the Effect of Soy on Thyroid Function
TLDR
Soy supplementation has no effect on the thyroid hormones and only very modestly raises TSH levels, the clinical significance, if any, of the rise in TSH is unclear.
Phytoestrogens and risk of prostate cancer: an updated meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies
TLDR
The results support the notion that some phytoestrogens may have a role in decreasing the risk of prostate cancer, and additional large and well-designed cohort studies are needed to confirm these relationships.
A Pooled Analysis of 15 Prospective Cohort Studies on the Association between Fruit, Vegetable, and Mature Bean Consumption and Risk of Prostate Cancer
TLDR
Results from this large, international, pooled analysis do not support a strong role of collective groupings of fruits, vegetables, or mature beans in prostate cancer.

TLDR
This meta-analysis supported the hypotheses that soyfood intake may be associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer due to the isoflavones and found strong evidence for publication bias in the combination of the studies.

TLDR
Results of the analysis showed that consumption of soy food was associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer in men.
Soy and isoflavone consumption in relation to prostate cancer risk in China.
TLDR
There is an indication of a reduced risk of prostate cancer associated with consumption of soy foods and isoflavones and these findings should be confirmed in longitudinal follow-up studies in populations with varying risk of Prostate cancer.

TLDR
The role of soyfoods in the etiology of stomach cancer cannot be determined with confidence until the roles of potential confounders, including salt, fruit/vegetables, and other dietary factors, are more adequately adjusted for.

TLDR

A prospective study of diet and prostate cancer in Japanese men
TLDR
The data suggest that dietary factors may not be strong determinants of prostate cancer in these Japanese men, although the increased risk associated with a high consumption of fish warrants further study.
