Summary: This study suggests insufficient evidence on the association between diet quality and risk of ovarian cancer, while adherence to a high-quality diet, as assessed by MDS, may be associated with a lower risk of endometrial cancer.

Summary: High intake of folate may be associated with a decreased risk of pancreatic cancer, especially in case-control studies. However, this association was not observed in cohort studies. Dose-response meta-analysis showed a marginal association between an increment of folate intake and the risk of pancreatic cancer.

Summary: Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), the most common cancer among white-skinned people, is associated with ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Previous studies in the past decade have found links between dietary components such as folate, citrus, caffeine, alcohol, and the risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). However, the inherent limitations of epidemiological studies prevent definitive conclusions.

Summary: The study found that total, classes, and subclasses of polyphenol intake were not significantly associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk in a large prospective study, except for a possible association with phenolic acid intake. Further investigation is needed to clarify the relationship between phenolic acid intake and EOC risk.

Summary: This study reviewed the methods and data sources used to assess dietary (poly)phenol intake in observational studies, providing recommendations for future research. Food-frequency questionnaires were found to be the most commonly used tool, and it was suggested for researchers to choose validated dietary assessment tools and utilize comprehensive databases for (poly)phenol content.

Summary: This systematic review examined the association of environmental exposures of EDCs with breast cancer risk, identifying certain EDC exposures that could potentially elevate the risk of breast cancer. Assessing the long-term impacts of EDC exposures, especially multi-generational and transgenerational, is essential for understanding the potential link to breast cancer development and for future EDC policy making and regulations.

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: 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.

Summary: Acrylamide, a potential carcinogenic compound, is a contaminant formed during the thermal processing of various commonly consumed foods. The health risks associated with acrylamide exposure are still not fully understood, leading to extensive research on its relationship with cancer risk. This study focused on epidemiological research, specifically examining the associations between dietary acrylamide exposure and cancer risk.

Summary: This study found an association between aspirin intake and a reduced risk of breast cancer, especially with ingestion of more than 6 tablets per week. Aspirin had a more significant risk reduction in patients with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.

Summary: This study found an association between olive oil consumption and a lower risk of cancer and better prognosis. Higher olive oil consumption was correlated with a decreased likelihood of developing any cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, upper aerodigestive cancer, and urinary tract cancer.

Summary: Several studies suggest a potential value of soy isoflavones in preventing breast cancer, but most randomized controlled trials did not find significant effects. Despite some bias and methodological limitations, future studies should carefully consider factors like sample size for more reliable results.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and ovarian cancer risk. The results showed no significant correlation between MetS and ovarian cancer risk. Only the unadjusted stratification of smoking and hysterectomy risk demonstrated a relationship between MetS and ovarian cancer risk.
