Mushrooms and total cancer.

Total cancer risk: No data was found.
Total cancer mortality: Data about total cancer risk was provided by 2 cohorts. No associations were found among men, but a significantly increased risk of fungi consumption was found among women in the largest cohort (21).

Conclusion: A significantly increased cancer mortality risk of fungi consumption was found in one cohort among women only, but no other associations were found. No evidence was found for an association between mushrooms and total cancer.

Total cancer mortality

Mushroom

Men: RR = 0.8 (0.6-1.1; No P-value).
Women: RR = 1.18 (0.8-1.8; No P-value).

RRs are for consumption ≥ several times/wk vs ≤ several times/month.

Men: age and smoking. Women: age, health status, health education, health screening + smoking.
