Abstract Findings for the roles of dairy products, Ca and vitamin D on ovarian cancer risk remain controversial. We aimed to assess these associations by using an updated meta-analysis. Five electronic databases (e.g. PubMed and Embase) were searched from inception to 24 December 2019. Pooled relative risks (RR) with 95 % CI were calculated. A total of twenty-nine case–control or cohort studies were included. For comparisons of the highest v. lowest intakes, higher whole milk intake was…

Intake of Various Food Groups and Risk of Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Studies.
TLDR
High intakes of vegetables, fruit, cheese, and soy products and low intakes of red and processed meat were associated with lower risks of breast cancer, however, causality cannot be inferred from these statistical correlations.

Calcium Intake and the Risk of Ovarian Cancer: A Meta-Analysis
TLDR
It is indicated that increased calcium intake might be inversely associated with the risk of ovarian cancer; this still needs to be confirmed by larger prospective cohort studies.
Dairy Products and Ovarian Cancer: A Pooled Analysis of 12 Cohort Studies
TLDR
Overall, no associations were observed for intakes of specific dairy foods or calcium and ovarian cancer risk, and a modest elevation in the risk of ovarian cancer was seen for lactose intake at the level that was equivalent to three or more servings of milk per day.
Dairy foods and nutrients in relation to risk of ovarian cancer and major histological subtypes
TLDR
There was no evidence that lactose intake influenced ovarian cancer risk or that risk varied by tumor aggressiveness in the analyses of intake of dairy foods and nutrients, and the overall inverse association with high intake of calcium and the inverse associations of calciumand vitamin D with specific histological subtypes warrant further investigation.
Relationship Between Calcium, Lactose, Vitamin D, and Dairy Products and Ovarian Cancer
TLDR
Investigation of the association between intake of dairy foods, calcium, vitamin D, and lactose and ovarian cancer risk among 31,925 subjects in the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project follow-up cohort found a statistically nonsignificant inverse association between high dietary calcium intake and ovarian cancers.
Circulating 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Risk of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
TLDR
A large pooled analysis did not support an overall association between circulating 25(OH)D and ovarian cancer risk, except possibly among overweight women, but suggested an inverse association among women with a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2.
Dairy, calcium, vitamin D and ovarian cancer risk in African–American women
TLDR
It is suggested that a high-calcium, low-lactose diet, and sun exposure in summer months may reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in African–American women.
Fermented dairy foods intake and risk of cancer
TLDR
The meta‐analysis indicated that fermented dairy foods intake was associated with an overall decrease in cancer risk, and Yogurt consumption was significantly decreased bladder cancer and colorectal cancer risk.
Milk, milk products and lactose intake and ovarian cancer risk: A meta‐analysis of epidemiological studies
TLDR
Prospective cohort studies, but not case‐control studies, support the hypothesis that high intakes of dairy foods and lactose may increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
Dietary fat intake and ovarian cancer risk: a meta-analysis of epidemiological studies
TLDR
The meta-analysis findings indicate that high consumption of total, saturated and trans-fats increase ovarian cancer risk, and different histological subtypes have different susceptibility to dietary fat.
Milk and Dairy Product Consumption and Bladder Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.
TLDR
The present meta-analysis suggests a decreased risk of bladder cancer associated with medium consumption of total dairy products and with medium and high consumption of milk and fermented dairy products.
