Association of the Frequency and Quantity of Alcohol Consumption With Gastrointestinal Cancer
Devout consumption of alcoholic beverages may edge an individual closer to a diagnosis of cancer arising from the gastrointestinal tract, including esophageal, stomach, colorectal, biliary, and pancreatic cancer.
This study was carried out to determine whether alcohol drinking was tied to the development of gastrointestinal cancer. Lifestyle and health data were analyzed to estimate the risk of esophageal, stomach, colorectal, biliary, and pancreatic cancer according to the alcohol drinking habits of 11,737,467 Korean men and women.
The team of researchers discovered that the greater the frequency and amounts of alcohol consumed, the higher the risk of acquiring cancer in the gastrointestinal tract, including esophageal, stomach, colorectal, biliary, and pancreatic cancer. This study affirmed that alcohol intake may be a contributing factor to the development of gastrointestinal cancer.
