An overview of most case-control and cohort studies investigating the relationship between vitamin C intake and risk for individual cancer sites up to the year 1992 is given by Block (1992). She demonstrated that for cancer sites such as oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach, an extremely strong and consistent inverse relationship exists between vitamin C intake and risk (18 out of 20). Also for lung, rectal, and cervical cancer the results were nearly consistent (15 out of 26 studies). However, no effect of vitamin C intake on risk was seen for prostate and ovarian cancer.
