Alcohol drinking and colorectal cancer risk: an evaluation based on a systematic review of epidemiologic evidence among the Japanese population.
Regular consumers of alcohol are highly predisposed to colorectal cancer.
This research work evaluated the correlation between alcohol consumption and colorectal cancer development risk. Researchers analyzed data on alcohol intake and colorectal risk extracted from 18 published studies. They observed that subjects who frequently drank alcohol had higher chances of developing colon, rectal, and colorectal cancer than those who rarely or did not drink alcohol. The findings of this meta-analysis reveal that consistent drinking of alcohol may increase an individual’s susceptibility to colorectal cancer.
