Review

Alcohol, alcoholism, and cancer

J H Breeden. Med Clin North Am. 1984 Jan.

Abstract

Certain types of cancer are clearly associated with alcohol abuse, although the role of ethanol in carcinogenesis--as a carcinogen, co-carcinogen, promoter, or "innocent bystander"--is not known with certainty. The impact of alcohol abuse on the management of the patient with cancer is also discussed.
