Summary: This study provides evidence of varying associations between dietary intakes of nitrate and nitrite and site-specific cancer risks. Higher nitrite intakes are associated with an increased risk of glioma, bladder cancer, and stomach cancer, while lower risk of pancreatic cancer. Higher nitrate intakes are associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer and a lower risk of kidney cancer.

Summary: This study found that dietary cholesterol intake significantly increased the risk of gastric cancer in case-control studies, with a positive association between high cholesterol consumption and gastric cancer risk observed. Prospective cohort studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up durations are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: There is no significant association between dietary intake and ovarian cancer risk overall, but consuming high amounts of green leafy vegetables, allium vegetables, fiber, flavonoids, and green tea can significantly reduce the risk of ovarian cancer. Additionally, intake of total fat, saturated fat, saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, and retinol can significantly increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Acrylamide, nitrate, water disinfectants, and polychlorinated biphenyls are also significantly associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer.

Summary: The use of oral contraceptives is significantly associated with a decreased risk of pancreatic cancer, but the results vary across different geographic regions and study quality levels in subgroup analyses. Further epidemiological studies are needed to fully understand the relationship between oral contraceptive use and pancreatic cancer risk.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the association between ultra-processed food (UPF) intake and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. The results showed that high intake of UPF was significantly associated with increased risk of CRC, particularly in case-control studies and developed countries. However, further large prospective cohort studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between antioxidant consumption and lung cancer incidence. Data from the PLCO cancer screening trial were used, and a total of 98,451 participants were included. The results showed that antioxidant intake from food sources was associated with a lower risk of lung cancer, while no effects were observed in the supplemental group. It is recommended to consume a combination of various antioxidants for potential benefits.

Summary: The meta-analysis found no association between cholesterol consumption and colorectal cancer in cohort studies when comparing high vs low intake categories and assessing dose-response relationship. However, significant associations were found in case-control studies. Additional prospective cohort studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This meta-analysis evaluates the effects of the TyG index on cancer risk. The results suggest that individuals with a higher TyG index have an increased risk of cancer compared to those with a lower TyG index. Further prospective cohort studies and basic research are needed to confirm this relationship.

Summary: This study performed a meta-analysis and meta-regression to examine the dose-response association between occupational exposure duration to chemical agents and pancreatic cancer risk. The results showed that pancreatic cancer risk increased as occupational exposure duration increased, with an exposure time window ranging from 1 to 30 years.

Summary: Soy-based foods and isoflavone intake may have a protective effect on gastric cancer, but the specific impact is inconclusive. Overall soybean intake could reduce the risk of gastric cancer, while high intake of fermented soybean products may increase the risk.

Summary: There is conflicting evidence regarding the association between vitamin E intake and prostate cancer risk. This meta-analysis found little evidence for a beneficial effect of vitamin E intake on prostate cancer risk overall, but suggests that supplements may have a protective effect in certain conditions.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between cholecystectomy and gastric cancer risk. The results showed that a history of cholecystectomy was associated with a slightly elevated risk of gastric cancer. The findings were consistent in most subgroup analyses.
