Core Tip	This editorial highlights the evolving role of vitamin D in prostate cancer prevention, going beyond its traditional association with bone health. Emerging evidence suggests a link between vitamin D deficiency and increased prostate cancer risk, especially in regions with limited sunlight exposure. Mechanistically, vitamin D regulates cellular processes, inhibiting cancer cell growth and enhancing immune surveillance. To unlock its full potential, personalized prevention strategies are crucial. Robust research, public awareness, dietary improvements, and vigilant medical guidance are essential components. Collaborative efforts aim to position vitamin D as a sentinel in prostate cancer prevention, offering hope and improved health for men globally.
