摘要:
AbstractDiet and nutrition are increasingly recognized as likely to be major determinants of cancer, notably cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, breast, endometrium, ovary, and prostate. Dietary factors may collectively account for a greater proportion of all cancers that occur in contemporary Western society than does any other category of environmental exposure (1). With the development of knowledge of the protective properties of certain components of food, links with diet have been suggested for other cancer sites (2).The epidemiological evidence for the association of diet and cancer is, however, not uniformly convincing; also, the likely biological pathways are not always clear. In this paper, we comment on some current hypotheses in this area and examine the best epidemiological methods to test them.
