Summary: Numerous studies have indicated that tea consumption may inhibit the development of gynecologic tumors; however, the association between tea intake and gynecologic cancers remains controversial. This study reviewed 19 cohort studies and found no significant association between tea intake and gynecologic tumor risk. Subgroup analyses suggested a preventive effect of non-herbal tea, particularly black tea, on ovarian cancer. Although not statistically significant, there was a decreasing trend in ovarian cancer risk with tea consumption of 1.40 to 3.12 cups per day. Further research is needed to validate the potential weak preventive effect of green tea on gynecologic cancers.

Summary: Results from 14 studies involving over 493,000 participants indicated that there was no clear association between green tea consumption and esophageal cancer risk with each additional cup of green tea. However, a potential protective effect of green tea was observed in women. Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings and explore potential biases.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between fish consumption and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, and found that increased fish consumption may protect against CRC development. Preclinical studies also identified multiple mechanisms through which fish components can inhibit colorectal carcinogenesis. These findings have important implications for dietary recommendations for cancer prevention.

Summary: Green tea consumption is inversely associated with certain specific cancers, beneficial for cardiovascular disease outcomes, and the evidence for diabetes outcomes is inconclusive. Overall, green tea may be beneficial for human health.

Summary: A meta-analysis of 32 observational studies found that night shift work significantly increased the risk of breast cancer, especially in case-control studies. No significant association was found in nested case-control studies and cohort studies, indicating that cohort studies provide higher evidence of no association between night shift work and the risk of breast cancer.

Summary: Multiple studies suggest that higher intake of coffee or green tea may be associated with a lower risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A meta-analysis of observational studies, involving a total of 32 studies and over 4 million participants, confirmed this association. Drinking coffee or green tea may be a potentially effective approach for the prevention or mitigation of HCC, but further well-designed observational studies and clinical experimental research are needed for confirmation.

Summary: A meta-analysis showed a significant association between green tea consumption and reduced risk of stroke, especially with moderate consumption. These findings support the recommendation of green tea consumption for primary prevention of stroke.

Summary: A meta-analysis on the relationship between tea consumption and endometrial cancer risk found no significant association between the two. While significant heterogeneity was detected among the studies, no publication bias was found. Further research and cohort studies are recommended to confirm these results.

Summary: A comprehensive appraisal of published meta-analyses incorporating Mendelian randomization studies was conducted to assess the causality and identify risk factors for lung cancer. The review identified 105 risk factors associated with lung cancer, with 72 of them showing significant association. Mendelian randomization analyses revealed that smoking and blood copper were significantly associated with increased risk of lung cancer, while aspirin use showed a protective effect.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the association between benign ovarian tumors and ovarian cancer risk. The results showed that benign ovarian tumors were associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, but there was high heterogeneity among studies. The risk varied depending on the histological type of the tumor.
