Cauliflower and prostate cancer.

Total prostate cancer risk: Data about the relation with total prostate cancer risk was provided by 4 cohorts, including a total of 8,835 cases. No (non)significant association was found in any of the cohorts (7, 10, 17, 18), but a nonsignificant protective effect among men aged < 65 years was found in one cohort (7).
Advanced prostate cancer risk: A nonsignificant protective effect against aggressive prostate cancer, and a significant protective effect against extraprostatic cancer were found in one cohort (18).
Prostate cancer mortality: Data about the relation with prostate cancer mortality was provided by one cohort (5). No association was found.

Conclusion: A significant protective effect of cauliflower against extraprostatic cancer was found in one cohort, but findings are to limited to be judged as evidence. No evidence was found for an association between cauliflower and prostate cancer.
