Abstract
BackgroundThere is observational evidence suggesting that high vitamin D concentrations may protect against lung cancer. To investigate this hypothesis in detail, we measured circulating vitamin D concentrations in prediagnostic blood from 20 cohorts participating in the Lung Cancer Cohort Consortium (LC3).Patients and methodsThe study included 5313 lung cancer cases and 5313 controls. Blood samples for the cases were collected, on average, 5...
