Black raspberries under the microscope for prostate cancer prevention
NCT ID NCT01823562
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial studied how compounds from black raspberries are absorbed and processed in 60 men with prostate cancer who were scheduled for surgery. Participants ate a black raspberry confection and followed a special diet before surgery. The goal was not to treat cancer but to gather information that could guide future research on dietary prevention. No side effects were reported.

- black raspberry confection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help design future studies on whether black raspberries might help prevent prostate cancer.
- What could go wrong
