NCT ID NCT04985565
First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This small study tests whether men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer can follow a Mediterranean diet for a few weeks before their scheduled prostate removal surgery. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical and well-tolerated, not to cure the cancer. Researchers hope to learn how diet might influence health outcomes, which could guide future, larger studies.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Mediterranean diet
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a short-term dietary change before surgery is practical and may improve overall health, pointing toward larger studies on diet and cancer outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It is not designed to measure direct effects on cancer itself.
