Lifestyle may effect genes, too

No, we're not talking about a return to the Lamarkian theory of evolution. By exercising, reducing stress, and changing diet, a number of men with prostate cancer have seen drastic changes in gene activation - most notably in genes that are involved in cancerous growth.

A larger study needs to be undertaken to eliminate the effects of chance on the results, but it is a very promising result! Eat your carrots, kids!
