Abstract

This review explores the effect of common everyday factors, such as alcohol, tea and coffee consumption, on the risk for lung cancer. We performed an umbrella review of current systematic reviews. The risk for lung cancer was increased with alcohol or coffee intake and decreased with tea intake. While evidence for alcohol is of low quality, the effect of coffee may be confounded by the smoking effect. The protective effect of tea intake is present, but the evidence is also of low quality.

Keywords: Alcohol; Coffee; Lifestyle factors; Lung cancer; Tea.
