TL;DR: It appears that intake of folate or a correlated factor may be negatively related to risk of rectal cancer, and there was an indication of an interaction between folate and alcohol intake.

TL;DR: The authors interviewed 428 pathologically confirmed cases of colon cancer and controls matched on age, sex, race, and neighborhood in the New York counties containing the cities of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Rochester to find the risk to increase with increases in the Quetelet index of relative weight.

TL;DR: The findings in three cohort studies as well as in eight substantial case-control studies are negative and suggest that a relation is far from established with risk of breast cancer.

TL;DR: In three counties in western New York, a case-control study of incident, pathologically confirmed, single, primary cancers of the rectum was conducted from 1978 to 1986, finding associations of intake with risk were generally stronger for males than for females except for vitamin C.

TL;DR: The authors found that higher risk attaches to upper socioeconomic status, as measured by occupation and education, lightness of complexion and hair, and amount of blue in the admixture of eye color, and higher risk among individuals who reacted to sun exposure by burning, blistering, or freckling rather than by tanning.
