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: We examined the association between adiposity and prostate cancer death and found that higher overall and central adiposity were associated with increased risk of prostate cancer death. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy body weight for men.

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: 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: 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: This study conducted a meta-analysis to assess the association between chronic exposure to nitrate in drinking water and the risk of bladder cancer. The results showed that the current epidemiological evidence failed to establish a conclusive relationship between nitrate exposure and bladder cancer risk. There was high heterogeneity across studies, but removing studies with high risk of bias increased the risk and reduced the heterogeneity.

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: Our meta-analysis suggests that overall meat intake may increase the risk of bladder cancer, particularly with higher intake of red meat and processed meat. However, a higher intake of fish is inversely associated with the risk of bladder cancer. No significant association was observed between white meat intake and the risk of bladder cancer. These findings indicate that dietary intervention may be an effective approach to prevent bladder cancer, but further well-designed observational studies are needed for confirmation.

Summary: The study found no significant association between alcohol consumption and bladder cancer risk in the entire population, but there was a linear dose-response relation in those who consume alcohol from liquor or spirits. Additionally, alcohol may elevate the risk of bladder cancer in males in a dose-independent way.

Summary: A diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis is strongly associated with an increased risk of hepatobiliary cancers, colorectal cancer, and all-cause mortality, but not with cardiovascular disease.

Summary: This meta-analysis based on prospective cohort studies found a positive association between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and the risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) and all-cause mortality. Each additional daily serving of UPF was associated with a 4% increased risk for CVEs and a 2% increased risk for all-cause mortality. The risk of CVEs showed a linear upward trend with increasing UPF intake, while the risk of all-cause mortality showed a nonlinear upward trend. These findings suggest the importance of controlling UPF intake in daily diet.

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.
