Alcohol is a Cancer risks:- Dr.Rajib Biswas says that
Alcohol drinking is a risk factor for multiple malignancies and is potentially modifiable.
"proactive stance" to minimize excessive alcohol intake has "important implications for cancer prevention."
"Even modest use of alcohol may increase cancer risk.
"Therefore, limiting alcohol intake is a means to prevent cancer,". "The good news is that, just like people wear sunscreen to limit their risk of skin cancer, limiting alcohol intake is one more thing people can do to reduce their overall risk of developing cancer."
Oncology providers can serve as community advisors and leaders and can help raise the awareness of alcohol as a cancer risk behavior."Low physician knowledge of alcohol use and cancer risk."
"People typically don't associate drinking beer, wine, and hard liquor with increasing their risk of developing cancer in their lifetimes," . "However, the link between increased alcohol consumption and cancer has been firmly established."
alcohol consumption is causally associated with oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, and colon cancer. However, alcohol may be a risk factor for other malignancies, including pancreatic and gastric cancers.
In total, ASCO estimates that 5% to 6% of new cancers and cancer deaths globally are directly attributable to alcohol.
A variety of causative mechanisms may be at play, depending on the particular cancer. Perhaps best known is the effect of alcohol on circulating estrogens, a pathway with relevance to breast cancer.
Currently recommend that men limit intake to one to two drinks per day and women to one drink per day.A meta-analysis found that one drink per day or less was still associated with some elevated risk for squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, oropharyngeal cancer, and breast cancer.
Defining risk-drinking can be "challenging because the amount of ethanol in a drink varies depending on the type of alcohol (eg, beer, wine, or spirits) and its size.
Conflicting data about the impact of alcohol, especially red wine, on the heart is an "additional barrier" to addressing its related cancer risk.
