Ginseng Intake and Gastric Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis of Observational Epidemiological Studies

Background: A number of observational studies have found that ginseng intake may reduce the risk of developing gastric cancer. However, studies have yielded inconsistent results as to whether consuming ginseng can lower the risk of gastric cancer. We conducted a meta-analysis of studies that assessed the association between ginseng intake and the risk of gastric cancer.
