Existing evidence suggests diet and chronic inflammation as risk factors in ovarian cancer (OC) development. We aim to conduct a meta-analysis exploring possible associations between dietary inflammatory potential and OC. A systematic search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and PMC databases for studies reporting relationships between dietary inflammatory potential and OC risk published up to September 2020. We included six studies for stepwise analysis, of which 5,468 among 197,086 individuals developed OC. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) were calculated by fixed-effects models, while heterogeneity was assessed by Q test and I
TL;DR

A systematic search through PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and PMC databases for studies reporting relationships between dietary inflammatory potential and OC risk revealed a positive association between dietaryinflammatory potential measured by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and OC.
