Title
Role of dietary intake in cancer survival
Summary
Identification of ways to minimize cancer progression is important to patients and clinicians. Survival rates after diagnosis vary widely, with lifestyle factors, particularly dietary intake, potentially affecting life expectancy. In this project, we aim to evaluate the associations of dietary intake and cancer specific, CVD and overall mortality among men and women with cancer. We will evaluate fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, refined grains, red meat, processed meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, milk and dairy products, coffee, tea, diet and sugar-sweetened beverages, fruit juice, oil and fat intake, olive oil, butter, sweets, snack, chocolate, honey, jam, dessert, and other food items.
Aims

1- to evaluate the associations of fruit and vegetable intake with risk of cancer specific, CVD and all-cause mortality among men and women with cancer: prostate, breast, ovarian, lung, colorectal, and renal cancers
2- to evaluate the associations of grain intake with risk of cancer specific, CVD and all-cause mortality among men and women with cancer: prostate, breast, ovarian, lung, colorectal, and renal cancers
3- to evaluate the associations of beverage consumption with risk of cancer specific, CVD and all-cause mortality among men and women with cancer: prostate, breast, ovarian, lung, colorectal, and renal cancers
4- to evaluate the associations of dietary sources of protein with risk of cancer specific, CVD and all-cause mortality among men and women with cancer: prostate, breast, ovarian, lung, colorectal, and renal cancers
5- to evaluate the associations of fat, oil, and butter intake with risk of cancer specific, CVD and all-cause mortality among men and women with cancer: prostate, breast, ovarian, lung, colorectal, and renal cancers
