A small study (from Vancouver, British Columbia), published in January 2010 reported that 41% of patients who consumed a daily soy drink for 6 months had a decline in the rate of rise in their PSA.
All patients in this study had been previously treated for prostate cancer with radiation therapy, and all of these patients subsequently recurred (i.e. the had a rise in their PSA after treatment.)
The patients were then enrolled in this study to determine what effect 6 months of drinking a soy beverage would have on their outcomes. The results demonstrated that in a substantial percentage of these patients their PSA rose more slowly after consuming the soy for 6 months.
This is interesting, as it suggests that a simple dietary addition (soy) may improve outcomes after treatment for prostate cancer.
