Association between pre-diagnosis and post-diagnosis Alternate Mediterranean Diet and ovarian cancer survival: evidence from a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is currently a lack of comprehensive evidence regarding the correlation between Alternate Mediterranean Diet (AMED) and the survival of patients with ovarian cancer (OC). This prospective cohort study first assessed the association of AMED, not only pre-diagnosis and post-diagnosis but also the change from pre-diagnosis to post-diagnosis with OC survival.
