Coffee drinking and cancer risk: an umbrella review of meta-analyses of observational studies
February 5, 2020
Conclusion Statement
Even though coffee has been associated with a lower risk of several common cancers in the literature, the associations for only liver cancer and endometrial cancer were supported by highly suggestive evidence. Findings for cancer at other sites were less consistent, presenting hints of uncertainty and/or bias, which need more confirmative studies in the future.
