After the January advice of the general surgeon that links alcohol consumption with seven types of cancer, a new study by the International Cancer Research Agency (IARC) has revealed another possible risk.
Research, recently published in PLOS Medicine magazine, classified alcohol as a carcinogen, highlighting a higher risk of particular pancreatic cancer.
The previous advisor of the general surgeon called breast cancers (in women), colorectum, esophagus, voice box, liver, mouth and throat.

The researchers associated the risk of pancreatic cancer with beer and liquor/liquor, but not with the intake of the wine.
“Alcohol consumption is a known carcinogen, but so far, the evidence that specifically links it to pancreas cancer has not been considered unconclitious,” said Senior study author Dr. Pietro Ferrari, head of the IARC nutrition and metabolism branch, in a press release.

“Our findings provide new evidence that pancreatic cancer can be another type of cancer associated with alcohol consumption, a connection that has been underestimated so far.”
For the study, the researchers recruited 2.5 million participants with a median age of 57 years, following them for approximately 16 years.

Outside the group, 10,067 cases of pancreatic cancer were recorded.
Each increase of 10 grams of ethanol per day in alcohol consumption was associated with a 3% increase in the risk of pancreatic cancer, according to the study.

Women who consumed 15 to 30 grams of alcohol (approximately one or two standard drinks) per day had a 12% increase in pancreatic cancer risk.
The men who consumed 30 to 60 grams (two to six standard drinks) per day had a 15% higher risk of pancreatic cancer, and the intake of more than 60 grams per day was associated with a 36% higher risk.
“There is really no safe drinking level when it comes to cancer risk.”
The investigation had some limitations.
“This observation study examined the alcohol intake evaluated in a single point of time during the average to late adulthood and included a limited number of Asian cohorts,” the researchers wrote.

“More research is needed to better understand the role of alcohol consumption for life, for example, during early adulthood, and the influence of specific consumption patterns, such as the beverage drink.”

Dr. Adam Scioli, addiction psychiatrist at Caron Treatment Centers in Pennsylvania, previously commented to News Digital that “alcohol is a toxin.”
“There have been reports for years that it could be beneficial to the health of one, but now we know that alcohol ingestion is one of the modifiable risk factors for cancer,” said Scioli, who is not affiliated with IARC, to News Digital.

Dr. Marc Siegel, a senior medical analyst at News, did not participate in the study, but spoke with News Digital about the findings.
“This is in line with alcohol as a toxin that directly inflames and damages pancreatic cells,” he said.

According to Scioli, around 75,000 Americans every year are diagnosed with cancer that is somehow linked to alcohol consumption.
Dr. Neha Pathak, the main medical editor of WebMD of Health Medicine and Lifestyle, said that the study highlights a new independent risk factor for pancreatic cancer.
“What is important to know is that there really is no safe level of alcohol consumption when it comes to cancer risk,” Atlanta -based News told News, who also did not participate in the investigation.

“This study reinforces that message, but also shows how complex these links are and how we need to continue deepening the role of alcohol and the different habits of alcohol consumption in cancer development,” he added.
News Digital contacted several associations of the beverage industry that requested comments.
