Recently, Polychronopoulou45 examined tobacco, ethanol, and coffee as risk factors for ovarian cancer in Greek women in a hospital-based case-control study with data collected from 1989 to 1991. Cases were 189 women who were residents of Greater Athens and less than 75 years old with histologically confirmed common malignant epithelial tumors of the ovary.

The evidence of an inverse association between isoflavones and ovarian cancer risk is supported by the observation that isoflavones have antiestrogenic effects [Ross and Kasum, 2002] and hence may inhibit the growth and proliferation of ovarian cell lines [Gercel-Taylor et al., 2004 Lukanova and Kaaks, 2005 Spinella et al., 2006],...
