Read our Prostate Cancer research guide →Phase 2 — Testing in a bigger group (up to a few hundred people) to see if the treatment actually works and is still safe.
This trial is testing whether walnuts can help slow prostate cancer growth. Researchers will compare men who eat their usual diet with men who add two ounces of walnuts to their regular diet each day. The study measures how cancer cells respond to walnuts before surgery by looking at tissue samples taken during the treatment period.
Walnuts contain compounds that may help fight cancer growth. This study exists to see if adding this simple, natural food to your diet could be a helpful part of managing prostate cancer alongside standard medical care.

You will have a baseline visit after your biopsy, then eat either your usual diet or your usual diet plus two ounces of walnuts daily for 4 to 10 weeks (depending on your surgery date). If you're in the walnut group, you'll also receive phone counseling from a dietitian to help you stick with it. Your final visit will happen before your scheduled prostate surgery, when doctors will take tissue samples to measure how the walnuts may have affected your cancer cells.
