State of the Art: Nutrition and Prostate Cancer – Summary:

Moyad MD, MPH, the Jenkins/Pokempner Director of Preventive & Alternative Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical Center in the Department of Urology, discusses how reducing caloric intake and improving heart health can help patients fight prostate cancer and reduce the odds of recurrent cancer.
