Alcohol drinking linked to more than 740,000 new cancer cases in 2020

Alcohol drinking linked to more than 740,000 new cancer cases in 2020 July 16, 2021 In a new study, researchers found 4% of newly diagnosed cancer cases in 2020 in the world may be linked to drinking alcohol. They estimated that men accounted for 77% (568,700 cases) of alcohol-associated new cancer cases, compared with women, who accounted for 23% of new cancer cases (172,600). Cancers of the oesophagus, liver, and breast accounted for the largest number of cases. These cancers have well-established causal links to alcohol drinking, and the estimates of the direct associations with alcohol in the new study are the first of their kind for 2020. Alcohol consumption has been shown to cause DNA damage through increased production of harmful chemicals in the body, and affect hormone production, which can contribute to cancer development.
