To keep evidence current and updated into the future, WCRF (World Cancer Research Fund)/AICR (American Institute for Cancer Research) is undertaking the Continuous Update Project (CUP), in collaboration with Imperial College London. The project is an on-going review of food, nutrition, physical activity, body fatness, and cancer research.
In this updated report on the prevention of ovarian cancer, the CUP Panel concluded: 1. The evidence that developmental factors leading to greater linear growth (marked by adult attained height) are a cause of ovarian cancer is convincing; 2. Greater body fatness (which the Panel interprets to be marked by body mass index (BMI)) is probably a cause of ovarian cancer; 3. The evidence suggesting that lactation protects against ovarian cancer is limited.
