Cancer Research UK have stated that "research has not proven that milk or dairy increases the risk of prostate cancer" and that high-quality research is needed. | The AICR, WCRF, CCA and [[Prostate Cancer UK]] have stated that there is limited but suggestive evidence that dairy products increase risk of [[prostate cancer]].

It has been suggested that consumption of [[insulin-like growth factor 1]] (IGF-1) in dairy products could increase cancer risk, particularly prostate cancer. However, a 2018 review by the Committee on Carcinogenicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COC) concluded that there is "insufficient evidence to draw any firm conclusions as to whether exposure to dietary IGF-1 is associated with an increased incidence of cancer in consumers". | It has been suggested that consumption of [[insulin-like growth factor 1]] (IGF-1) in dairy products could increase cancer risk, particularly prostate cancer.

The COC also stated it is unlikely that there would be absorption of intact IGF-1 from food by most consumers. | ||
