Oncologists recommend a diet with lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, along with avoiding high-sugar processed foods.

Plant-based and Mediterranean diets may help reduce cancer cell growth through their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative ( suppressing growth of malignant cells) properties. They may also reduce DNA damage, thereby reducing cancer risk.

High-fiber foods and foods containing polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as fruits, vegetables, olive or fish oil, may have a protective role by reducing hormones such as estrogen and insulin, and other factors that can cause chronic inflammation.
