Preventable causes of cancer in Texas by Race/Ethnicity: Inadequate diet

We estimated the percentage and number of all incident cancer cases diagnosed in Texas in 2015 that were attributable to inadequate diet and examined for racial/ethnic differences. We calculated population attributable fractions for cancers with a causal relationship with red and processed meat cons...
