A recent study published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in the well-known medical journal "The Lancet " shows that in 2020, an estimated 741,000 new cancer cases worldwide are related to drinking
.
The study showed that although high-risk and heavy drinking patterns (more than two alcoholic beverages per day) represent the largest cancer burden (86% of the total number of cases caused by alcohol), light to moderate drinking (no more than two drinks per day) Alcoholic beverages represent one-seventh of the cases caused by alcohol and constitute more than 100,000 new cancer cases worldwide
.
The lead author of the report and a researcher at the International Agency for Research on Cancer Harriet Rumay said that according to gender, cancer site, country or world region, these estimates enable people to understand the burden of alcohol consumption on global cancer
.
The report also quantifies the proportion of new cancer cases associated with various levels of alcohol consumption and shows that even light to moderate drinking can have a significant impact on cancer
Key results
The report shows that men account for about three-quarters of the total number of cancer cases (567,000) caused by alcohol
.
Drinking alcohol increases the risk of cancer in seven parts of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, colorectal, liver and female breast
.
The cancer types with the largest number of new alcohol-related cases in 2020 are esophageal cancer (190,000 cases), liver cancer (155,000 cases), and female breast cancer (98,000 cases)
.
The report shows that the proportion of new cancer cases that can be avoided if no one in the population drinks alcohol, or population attributable proportions (PAFs) based on alcohol consumption are the lowest in North Africa and West Asia for men and women (less than 1%), while in East Asia (9 %) and Central and Eastern Europe (8%) are the highest among men, and the highest among women in Central and Eastern Europe (3%), Australia and New Zealand (3%), and Western Europe (3%)
.
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer Cancer, alcohol consumption has caused a huge cancer burden on a global scale
.
However, its impact on cancer is often unknown or overlooked
