Consumption of dried/salted fish and total cancer.

Data about dried and/or salted fish consumption was provided by 4 Japanese cohorts. A nonsignificantly increased risk was found in one cohort, but this was restricted to the highest level of consumption (Takachi R [15]). No other associations were found.

Conclusion: No significant effects were found. Inconclusive evidence was found for an association between dried or salted fish consumption and total cancer.
