From the book, "Plant-Based Diet: Foods that support health and immunity":
Numerous studies have demonstrated that the observed deficiencies and adverse health effects associated with plant-based diet are usually due to poor meal planning and a lack of clarity regarding the best or worst plant-based foods for cancer prevention. But, a well-balanced plant-based diet that sufficiently includes suitable food choices with alkalizing and anti-inflammatory effects in human body can significantly improve health and boost the immune system.

Omega 6 arachidonic acid (AA) and omega 3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) make up 16% of the dry matter of the brain at a ratio of 1:1. In sharp contrast to the 1:1 ratio, substrate from plant-based diets tends to have high ratios of the parent omega-6 essential fatty acid (EFA) linoleic acid (LA) to the parent EFA omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Also, inasmuch as LA and ALA are mainly metabolized for energy, they are poorly available for elongation to AA and DHA. It is for this reason that dietary sources of meat for AA and fish for DHA are recommended.
Yes, evidence suggests that plant-based diets can contribute to improved health and a reduced risk of certain types of cancer. Numerous studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes is associated with lower rates of cancer incidence. Plant-based diets are typically high in fiber, antioxidants, and various phytochemicals, which have been linked to lower inflammation and improved immune function.
What diet has the lowest cancer rate?
"Plant-based diets are full of fruits, vegetables and legumes, with little or no meat or other animal products. In research studies, vegans, people who don't eat any animal products, including fish, dairy or eggs, appeared to have the lowest rates of cancer of any diet. 21 Haz 2022 "

Mayo Clinic dieticians are on an urgent mission to defeat SAD (Standard American Diet) that is based on the "empty" calories of widely consumed processed foods and grossly excessive caloric intake. "Convenience foods" lead to the "inconvenience" of deficiency and disease.
Please note the Mayo Clinic recommendation for protein: (based on 2000 calories per day): "Protein, 5 to 7 ounces per day. Legumes, dairy, tofu and eggs are excellent sources of protein. Or select lean cuts of meats and avoid processed meats."
- Eggs are the "gold standard" for protein and, in combination with milk, provide balanced fatty acids. Western diets typically produce a very high n-6 to n-3 ratio (~20-30:1), whereas the ratio (~4:1 or less) (Simopoulos, 1999) is consistent with the n-6 to n-3 fatty acid ratio in bovine milk fat (German et al., 2006).
- Supporting nutritional and metabolic regulation by prescribing the composite fatty acids and phospholipids of bovine milk, with eggs, enhanced by nutrient-dense whole foods covers essential bases.
Yes, evidence supports that plant based diet can support cancer treatment. From my research work on the effect of Soursop pulp on the kidney and liver function of a prostatic male rat, there was significant decrease in the metastasis of the cancer to the surrounding organs, it also maintained there functions. Even the PSA was affected. DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.12096.51200
