There is no proof whatsoever that prostate massage directly prevents prostate cancer, but indirectly it definitely does.
Urologists can efficiently detect (early) prostate cancer — or even abnormalities before an actual prostate cancer outbreak — through a digital rectal examination, and so medical prostate massage in that sense can definitely help “prevent” or early detect prostate cancer.
Also, research has found that regular ejaculation is important for sexual health in males, and is associated with a lower risk of developing prostate cancer. A Harvard study carried out with 30,000 volunteers between the age of 46 and 81 found evidence that frequent ejaculations mark a decreased risk of prostate cancer:
High ejaculation frequency was linked to a decreased risk. Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer. And the results held up to rigorous statistical evaluation even after other lifestyle factors and the frequency of PSA testing were taken into account.
And finally, as I understand it, a prostate massage can help men climax in real time, so in a rather precise mathematical sense, this side of prostate massage can actually prevent prostate cancer as well.
So the answer is: No, but Yes.
