Have a look at this article guys.

http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Research/Breakthrough-research-on-lycopene

I thought it may be of interest to us because of this snippet:

Their analysis revealed that both nutrients affected gene expression directly in the tumours: lycopene interfered with local androgen activation by down-regulating 5-alpha-reductase, the key enzyme for the transformation of testosterone to its most active form dehydrotestosterone (DHT). As a consequence, the expression of androgen-regulated target genes were also reduced.
In addition, lycopene decreased the expression of two prostatic cytokines, IGF-I and IL-6, both regarded as risk factors for prostate cancer. Vitamin E reduced androgen signalling without affecting androgen metabolism.

That is what anti-oxidants do, for some reason people are too stupid to get this through their heads.

Stoping inflamation is #1 and goes in hand with #2 stoping oxidation. They are linked to one another.

Good article, there are others on lycopene as well.

Oh, and now the morons will want o rub it on their heads, they don't understand systematic effects LOL
