Abstract in brief

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether higher intake and circulating levels of lycopene, an antioxidant found in foods like tomatoes, are associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer (PCa).
The study included 26 research articles with over 175,000 prostate cancer cases, finding that increased lycopene consumption or blood levels generally correlates with a reduced risk of prostate cancer, especially when intake reaches between 9 and 21 mg per day.
The findings suggest a linear relationship where higher lycopene intake or circulating levels are linked to lower prostate cancer risk, making lycopene a potentially beneficial dietary factor for prostate health.]
