Diet and Survival in Black Women With Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Ovarian cancer survival among Black women is the lowest across all racial and ethnic groups. Poor dietary quality also disproportionately affects Black populations, but its association with ovarian cancer survival in this population remains largely unknown.

Objective

To examine associations between dietary patterns and survival among Black women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

Design, setting, and participants

This prospective cohort study was conducted among self-identified Black women aged 20 to 79 years newly diagnosed with histologically confirmed EOC in the African American Cancer Epidemiology Study (AACES) between December 2010 and December 2015, with follow-up until October 2022.
