Association Between Changes in Alcohol Consumption and Cancer Risk

Habitual drinking of alcohol may facilitate the development of cancer.

This study looked at the burden of alcohol-related cancers in a study population comprising of 4,513,746 men and women. Researchers monitored the alcohol drinking habits and cancer diagnosis status of all the participants for a duration of 6.4 years. 

Researchers found out that cancer risk went up with increase in the rate of consumption of alcohol. The study recommended that "alcohol cessation and reduction should be reinforced for the prevention of cancer."
