Schulpen M, et al. - Researchers pooled data from the Netherlands Cohort Study (NLCS; n=120,852) and the Dutch cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC-NL; n=40,011) to determine the link between Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence and pancreatic cancer incidence. They used alternate and modified Mediterranean diet scores, including and excluding alcohol, to evaluate MD adherence. They included 449 patients with microscopically confirmed pancreatic cancer in study-specific multivariable Cox models after median follow-ups of 20.3 (NLCS) and 19.2 (EPIC-NL) years. A random-effects model was used to pool study-specific estimates. According to findings, there was no evident association of MD adherence with pancreatic cancer risk.
