Title
Higher dietary anthocyanidins is associated with reduced risk of biliary cancer in the PLCO Cancer Screening Trial
Summary
Globally, biliary cancer is insidious and also poses a serious threat to the lives of patients. Anthocyanin is a water-soluble flavonoid. Anthocyanins are water-soluble flavonoids (1), and anthocyanins are in the form of glycosides (2). Studies have shown that anthocyanins are involved in many health-promoting activities and have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer effects (3,4). Anthocyanins reduce tumor cell proliferation by blocking activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway (5). The association of dietary anthocyanidins with a variety of cancers has been investigated. However, the relationship between dietary anthocyanidins and biliary cancer risk is still unclear. we performed this study to investigate this relationship.
