A recent report from a case-control study in Greece suggested that coffee consumption is related to an increase in the risk of ovarian cancer. This hypothesis was examined in a hospital-based case-control study in the US. Information on coffee drinking and other factors was obtained from 290 incident cases of epithelial ovarian cancer and compared with that of 580 controls with non-malignant conditions of acute onset and 476 controls with cancer of other sites. Adjustment was made for the potential confounding effects of several factors, including the major known risk factors for ovarian cancer. The estimated relative risk for drinking five or more cups of coffee per day, relative to none, was 1.1 (95% confidence interval, 0.6-2.0) using the controls with non-malignant conditions and 1.0 (0.5-1.8) using the controls with cancer. The estimates for drinking less than five cups per day were greater than 1.0, but this could have been due to chance. The consumption of decaffeinated coffee and tea also appeared to have no influence on risk. The evidence from this study suggests that, if coffee drinking increases the risk of ovarian cancer, the effect is small.
