If you haven't kept up with the news lately you might not be aware of all the prostate cancer news.
The Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trials show that six years of aggressive, annual screening for prostate cancer led to more diagnoses of prostate tumors but not to fewer deaths from the disease.
Folic acid has been found to increase the risk of prostate cancer in amounts of more than 1mg daily. The interesting part if that this was not a study about prostate cancer but a study to determine the impact of aspirin and folic acid on colon polyps in men and women who were at high risk for the disease.
The good news is that there is evidence that vegetables decrease the risk of developing prostate cancer and flaxseed can reduce the tumor proliferation before surgery which could improve surgical outcomes.

Of course research couldn't be that simple. The European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) found that screening for prostate cancer can reduce deaths by 20%.
