Consideration is given to the idea that the nutritional epidemiology of cancer is dead, as some in the media have claimed. The basis for the claim does not lie in science nor has anyone with relevant knowledge made such a statement-although that, too, has been claimed. Evidence is adduced for the importance of past achievements of nutritional epidemiology. Attention is similarly drawn to recent contributions. In particular, I note the state of play of cancer and plant foods, fat and breast cancer, meat and cancer, vegetarians, intervention studies, migrant studies, and westernization of diet and lifestyle. Some next steps and some currently important questions are outlined.
有人认为癌症营养流行病学已无发展空间，就像一些媒体所宣称的那样。这种说法毫无科学依据，也没有任何相关领域的专业人士发表过这样的言论——尽管也有人这么宣称过。文中列举了营养流行病学过去所取得成就的重要性的相关证据。同时也关注了近期的研究贡献。特别要指出的是，我将阐述癌症与植物性食物、脂肪与乳腺癌、肉类与癌症、素食者、干预性研究、移民研究以及饮食和生活方式西化等方面的研究现状。还概述了一些后续步骤以及当前一些重要问题。
