A Case-Control Study Examining the Association of Fiber, Fruit, and Vegetable Intake and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer in a Palestinian Population.

While there is an association between Western diets and the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC), this dietary association has remained unexplored in Palestine. The aim of this study was to examine how fiber and fruit and vegetable (FV) intakes are associated with CRC risk among Palestinian adults. We recruited 528 Palestinians between 2014 and 2016.

Risk of Disease Recurrence and Mortality Varies by Type of Fat Consumed before Cancer Treatment in a Longitudinal Cohort of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients.

Background: The associations between specific types of fat and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) recurrence and mortality rates have not yet been examined.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine how intakes of various fat subtypes before cancer treatment are associated with recurrence and mortality in adults diagnosed with HNSCC.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis longitudinal cohort study of data collected from 476 newly diagnosed patients with HNSCC.

Carbohydrate Nutrition and the Risk of Cancer.

Purpose Of Review: This review summarizes a selection of epidemiologic research assessing the associations between carbohydrate intake and cancer incidence and survival. Evidence for plausible biological mechanisms is also considered.

Recent Findings: The mechanistic paradigm explaining the relationship between carbohydrates and cancer risk has been contested by numerous observational studies.
