“…Forty-seven publications were excluded for not fulfilling the inclusion criteria (no cancer related outcomes = 19; not about dietary patterns but single nutrient/food studies = 14; not an original study = 1; a posteriori indexes = 5; a priori but not MD = 8). Thus, 26 studies were included in this review: 5 VD-like studies [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ], 12 MD-like studies [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 ], 2 provegetarian diet studies [ 52 , 53 ], and 6 post-diagnosis studies [ 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ]. The study by Key et al was not included because no risk ratios on cancer mortality were reported [ 60 ].…”
