The transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate (TRAMP) is a model for progressive prostate cancer (PCa) that mirrors the stages of the human form. In this study we investigated the effects of a diet enriched with 10% tomato powder from heat-processed paste from whole cherry tomatoes, including seeds and skins, on survival, tumorigenesis and progression of PCa, and on the antioxidant and inflammatory status of TRAMP mice.This diet significantly increased overall survival rate (from 11% to 67%), delayed progression from Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PIN) to adenocarcinoma (ADK) (79.2% vs 9.4% of adenocarcinomatous prostatic area at 25 weeks of age), and decreased the incidence of poorly differentiated carcinoma (PD) from 56% to 17%.Biochemical data disclosed an increase in serum antioxidant activity, and a reduction of serum inflammation/angiogenesis biomarkers of particular importance in prostate carcinogenesis.
