Abstract
Prostate cancer is the leading cancer-related cause of death for men in the USA.
Prostate cancer risk is significantly lower in Asian countries compared with the USA, which has prompted interest in the potential chemo-preventive action of soy and green tea that are more predominant in Asian diets. It has been proposed that chronic inflammation is a major risk factor of prostate cancer, acting as both an initiator and promoter.
Specifically, the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) pathway has been implicated as an important mediator between chronic inflammation, cell proliferation and prostate cancer.
Dietary factors that inhibit inflammation and NF-kappaB may serve as effective chemo-preventive agents. Recent studies have demonstrated that soy and green tea have anti-inflammatory properties, and may have the potential to block the inflammatory response during cancer progression.
This minireview discusses the relationship between chronic inflammation and prostate cancer, emphasizing on the significance of NF-kappaB, and further explores the anti-inflammatory effects of soy and green tea.
Finally, we propose that dietary strategies that incorporate these bioactive food components as whole foods may be a more effective means to target pathways that contribute to prostate cancer development.

Herbal teas, including all the teas discussed in these pages, should not be consumed by persons who are pregnant or nursing, unless approved by your health care provider. Herbal teas may vary in their ingredients and some herbal tea components may interfere with other important medications. For example, there is some concern that green tea ingestion during pregnancy may reduce the absorption of folate, an important nutrient in fetal nervous system development.
