Prediagnostic circulating vitamin D levels and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in European populations: A nested case-control study

Abstract

In this prospective study on western European populations, serum levels of 25(OH)D were inversely associated with the risk of HCC. Given the rising incidence of this cancer in low-risk developed countries and the strong public health interest surrounding the potentially cancer-protective roles of vitamin D, additional studies in different populations are required.
