Our findings suggest that pre-diagnostic serum albumin is inversely and linearly associated with cancer risk among the Chinese population. This study provides evidence that albumin may be valuable to the prediction and stratification of cancer risk in the general population. However, the biological mechanism and clinical significance remain to be elucidated. Population studies with longer follow-up time as well as experimental studies are further required.
