Coffee consumption and prostate cancer risk: an updated meta-analysis

Abstract

Our meta-analysis suggests that high (e.g., highest ≥ 4 or 5 cups/day) coffee consumption may not only be associated with a reduced risk of overall prostate cancer, but also inversely associated with fatal and high-grade prostate cancer.

Coffee consumption and the risk of lung cancer: an updated meta-analysis of epidemiological studies

“…Although the present study indicated the association of coffee intake with an increased risk of lung cancer, it should be noted that several recently updated meta-analysis have reported that coffee consumption is associated with a reduction in the risk of various types of cancers, including prostate cancer, bladder cancer, colorectal cancer and liver cancer. [38][39][40][41] A recent metaanalysis showed that coffee consumption was not statistically significantly associated with total cancer mortality. 42 Certainly, residual confounding by smoking is always a great concern in studies of lung cancer.…”

Association between coffee or tea drinking and Barrett’s esophagus or esophagitis: an Italian study

“…Coffee intake has been related to a lower risk of a number of cancers at different sites such as liver, prostate, breast and colorectum, [19][20][21][22][23] while it seemed to increase the risk of laryngeal cancer. 24 The studies on the role of coffee on the occurrence of esophageal diseases did not exclude a weak inverse relationship between coffee intake and esophageal cancers, 25 while a metaanalysis of some Italian observational studies provided evidence of an inverse association with cancers of the oral cavity or pharynx, but not with laryngeal and esophageal cancers.…”

Fried food and prostate cancer risk: systematic review and meta-analysis

“…As specifically regards prostate cancer, a recent casecontrol study analyzed the dietary habits of 1294 prostate cancer patients and 1451 hospital controls (Rosato et al, 2014) and concluded that prostate cancer risk was positively influenced by diets enriched in animal products, starch and animal unsaturated fatty acids, whereas no significant association was found with intake of vitamins, fiber and vegetable unsaturated fatty acids. In another meta-analysis, Lu et al (2014) reported that high-coffee consumption was inversely associated with fatal and high-grade prostate cancer. Reliable evidence has also been provided that a diet enriched in foods containing lycopene or selenium may produce a protective effect against prostate cancer, whereas diets with large amount of calcium may increase the risk of this malignancy (Labbé et al, 2014).…”
