Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Folates are essential for DNA synthesis and methylation, and thus may have a role in carcinogenesis. Limited evidence suggests folate-containing foods might protect against some cancers and may partially mitigate the increased risk of breast cancer associated with alcohol intake, but there is little information regarding ovarian cancer. Our aim was to evaluate the role of folate and related...
