TL;DR: Excess breast cancer risk with HRT was particularly evident among lean women, and general obesity is a significant predictor of breast cancer, while abdominal fat assessed as waist–hip ratio or waist circumference was not related to excess risk when adjusted for BMI.

TL;DR: A very small inverse association between intake of total fruits and vegetables and cancer risk was observed in this study, and caution should be applied in their interpretation.

TL;DR: The results of this large observational study indicate a strong inverse association between levels of pre-diagnostic 25-(OH)D concentration and risk of colorectal cancer in western European populations.

TL;DR: The use of supplemental MRI screening in women with extremely dense breast tissue and normal results on mammography resulted in the diagnosis of significantly fewer interval cancers than mammography alone during a 2-year screening period.
