Eating fish reduces the risk of getting colorectal cancer?

Study Design:
This overview article contained 22 prospective cohort studies and case-control studies 19. There was heterogeneity between the case-control studies, but not between the cohort studies. Because of the small sample size, there was limited or no publication bias the static power finally to reject null hypothesis. In other words, the conclusion of this review article found should be interpreted with caution.

Results and conclusions:
The meta-analysis showed that eating fish at risk of getting colorectal cancer significantly with 12% [Summary OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.80-0.95] reduced.

The meta-analysis showed that eating fish in the highest category compared to the lowest category in case-control studies, the risk of getting colon cancer significantly with 17% [Pooled OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.72-0.95] reduced.

The meta-analysis showed that eating fish in the highest category compared to the lowest category in cohort studies, the risk of getting colorectal cancer
non-significant with 7% [Pooled OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.86-1.01] reduced.

A significant inverse Association was found between fish consumption and rectal cancer [Summary OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.65-0.97] and there was a modest trend observed between fish consumption and colon cancer [Summary OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.81-1.14].
