Abstract
Chemoprevention of prostate cancer is an attractive idea that appeals to many struggling with the treatment of this disease. Many details inherent in any preventive strategy must be considered before embarking on this course, no matter how seductive it may appear. Critical issues of effectiveness, cost, difficulties in implementation, side effects, duration of the preventive cycle, and public acceptance may thwart prevention of prostate cancer from being implemented in the near future.
