Prostate cancer has become the most common cancer among men in tire United States. Although milk consumption is considered to be a risk factor in some epidemiotogical studies, the results are inconsistent. A meta-analysis method was conducted to estimate the combined odds ratio (OR) between milk consumption and prostate cancer.from case-control studies published between 1984 and 2003 using commercial software (comprehensive meta-analysis). The combined OR was 1.68(95% confutence interval = 1.34–2.12) in the 11 published case-control studies. The combined OR vatted little by study stratification. Additionally, we evaluated the possible risk factors in milk for prostate cancer. In conclusion, we found a positive association between milk consumption and prostate cancer. The underlying mechanisms, including fat, calcium, hormones, and other factors, should be investigated further. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
