Dietary Phytoestrogens and the Risk of Ovarian Cancer in the Women's Lifestyle and Health Cohort Study

Abstract

Phytoestrogens do not play a major etiologic role in ovarian cancer, at least among women in this Swedish cohort with low bean/soy intake. However, our results of a difference in the effect of fiber or coumestrol between invasive and borderline ovarian cancer need to be evaluated in larger studies.
