Cancer incidence and mortality attributable to alcohol consumption
Open accessAbstract
Alcohol consumption is a major cause of disease and death. In a previous study, we reported that in 2002, 3.6% of all cases of cancer and a similar proportion of cancer deaths were attributable to the consumption of alcohol. We aimed to update these figures to 2012 using global estimates of cancer cases and cancer deaths, data on the prevalence of drinkers from the World Health Organization (WHO) global survey on alcohol and health, and relative risks for alcohol‐related neoplasms from a recent meta‐analysis. Over the 10‐year period considered, the total number of alcohol‐attributable cancer cases increased to approximately 770,000 worldwide (5.5% of the total number of cancer cases)—540,000 men (7.2%) and 230,000 women (3.5%). Corresponding figures for cancer deaths attributable to alcohol consumption increased to approximately 480,000 (5.8% of the total number of cancer deaths) in both sexes combined—360,000 (7.8%) men and 120,000 (3.3%) women. These proportions were particularly high in the WHO Western Pacific region, the WHO European region and the WHO South‐East Asia region. A high burden of cancer mortality and morbidity is attributable to alcohol, and public health measures should be adopted in order to limit excessive alcohol consumption.

As the prevalence of these genetic variations differs in different national populations, cancer is the first alcohol-attributable disease category where genetic considerations play a role in modelling the effect of alcohol use in global CRAs of the GBD and the WHO.
“As the prevalence of these genetic variations differs in different national populations, cancer is the first alcohol‐attributable disease category where genetic considerations play a role in modelling the effect of alcohol use in global CRAs of the GBD and the WHO (for a first such attempt, see 184).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
