Summary: A meta-analysis of existing studies found that higher intake of citrus, apples, watermelon, and kiwi was associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), while the intake of other types of fruits showed no significant association. Citrus intake showed a non-linear dose-response relationship with CRC risk, with the risk minimized at a daily intake of 120g.

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 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: 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: A meta-analysis of observational studies found that milk intake during childhood and adolescence may not be associated with risks of breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer later in life. More studies are needed to reach a definitive conclusion.

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: This study aimed to assess the impact of high red and processed meat intake (RPMI) on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and compare it with genetically determined risk. The study found that RPMI increases CRC risk regardless of genetic risk. Avoiding RPMI can compensate for a substantial proportion of polygenic risk for CRC.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 36 studies to identify risk factors for early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC). The results showed that male, Caucasian, family history of CRC, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, hypertension, smoking, and alcohol consumption were associated with increased risk of EOCRC. Sedentary lifestyle, high intake of red meat, processed meat, Western dietary patterns, and sugar-sweetened beverages were also associated with increased risk. Vitamin D may be a protective factor. These findings provide important information for risk prediction models and tailored screening strategies for EOCRC.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the association between meat mutagens and cancer risk. The results showed that the intake of PhIP, MeIQx, DiMeIQx, and total HCA was significantly associated with an increased risk of cancer, while the intake of B(a)P did not show a significant association with cancer risk.

Summary: This study identified significant risk factors for early-onset colorectal cancer, including family history of colorectal cancer, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and alcohol consumption. Smoking was suggestive but not statistically significant as a risk factor. Other potential risk factors such as hypertension, metabolic syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and occupational exposure to organic dusts were also identified in limited studies. High-quality studies on generalizable populations are needed to further explore risk factors for early-onset colorectal cancer and inform prevention strategies.

Summary: Vitamin D intake is associated with the prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC), showing a significant lower risk in case-control studies. However, larger and high-quality prospective studies and clinical trials are needed to confirm this association.

Summary: This study reviewed the association between histopathological findings and lymph node metastases in T1 colorectal cancer, finding that factors such as lymphovascular invasion, tumor budding, and depth of submucosal invasion were associated with LNMs. These distinct histopathological factors can help in selecting patients for local excision or major excisional surgery.
