Genetic evidence for causal relationships between vegetarian biomarkers and esophageal cancer risk
Our findings provide novel genetic evidence for bidirectional causal relationships between vegetarian-specific biomarkers and EC risk. These results enhance our understanding of EC pathogenesis and may inform future therapeutic strategies, particularly for vegetarian populations.
