Adult lifetime alcohol consumption and invasive epithelial ovarian cancer risk in a population-based case–control study - Gynecologic Oncology

Abstract
  
Highlights

• •Assessed adult alcohol consumption in 1144 epithelial ovarian cancer cases and 2513 controls
• •Guideline concordant alcohol consumption does not increase ovarian cancer risk
• •Higher levels of wine consumption associated with risk reductions; reductions may be stronger for red wine
