    TLDR Finasteride, selenium, and vitamin E may help prevent prostate cancer.
    The document reviewed the potential of chemoprevention strategies for prostate cancer, which was a common cancer among men in Western countries. It highlighted the importance of developing these strategies due to the cancer's high incidence and long-term nature. The article summarized basic and clinical research, noting that agents affecting sex steroid signaling, antiproliferative drugs, retinoids, anti-inflammatory drugs, and antioxidants showed promise as preventatives. Large-scale clinical trials indicated that finasteride, selenium, and vitamin E could serve as chemopreventive agents. Although no definitive prevention strategies were identified, ongoing research was expected to yield effective and safe options.
