Following the January counseling consultancy, a surgeon linking alcohol consumption to seven cancers, a new study by the International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC) revealed another possible risk.
The study recently published in Plos Medicine magazine classified alcohol as a carcinogen, emphasizing a particular increase in pancreatic cancer.
The previous consultation of the General Surgeon called breast cancers (in women), colorecture, esophagus, voice box, liver, mouth and throat.

Researchers associate the risk of pancreatic cancer with beer and spirits/alcohol, but not with wine intake.
“Alcohol consumption is a well -known carcinogen, but so far, evidence that connects it specifically to pancreatic cancer is considered unconvincing,” said senior study by the study by Pietro Ferrari, head of the IARC branch and metabolism.

A new study links the consumption of alcohol to the risk of pancreatic cancer, adding to the previous list of the general surgeon of seven cancers.
“Our discoveries provide new evidence that pancreatic cancer may be another type of cancer associated with alcohol consumption, a relationship that has been undervalued so far.”
For the study, researchers are recruiting 2.5 million participants with an average age of 57, following them for about 16 years.

Outside the group, 10 067 cases of pancreatic cancer were registered.
Each increase of 10 grams of ethanol per day when consuming alcohol is associated with a 3% increase in the risk of pancreatic cancer, the study found.
Studies have found that alcohol can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 3% per 10 grams of daily intake.
Women who consume 15 to 30 grams of alcohol (about one to two standard drinks) per day have a 12% increase in the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Men who consumed 30 to 60 grams (two to six standard drinks) per day had a 15% increased risk of pancreatic cancer, and intake of over 60 grams per day is associated with 36% greater risk.
The study had some restrictions.
“This observation study examines alcohol intake at one point during the middle to the end of adulthood and includes a limited number of Asian cohorts,” the researchers wrote.
“Additional studies are needed to better understand the role of alcohol consumption throughout life-for example, during an early age, the impact of specific consumption models such as drinking alcohol.”
About 75,000 Americans are diagnosed with cancer each year, which is somehow associated with alcohol use, expert said.
Dr Adam Skioli, a psychiatrist for addiction at Caron Treatment Centers in Pennsylvania, commented on Fox News Digital that “alcohol is a toxin”.
“For years, it has been reported that this can be beneficial for human health – but now we know that alcohol ingestion is one of the altered risk factors for cancer,” Skioli, which is not associated with IARC, told Fox News Digital.

Dr. Mark Seagal, a Fox News Senior Medical Analyst, does not participate in the study, but talks to Fox News Digital about the discoveries.
“This is in line with alcohol as a toxin, which directly ignites and damages the cells of the pancreas,” he said.
“For years, it has been reported that this can be beneficial for human health – but now we know that alcohol ingestion is one of the changing risk factors for cancer,” an expert said.
About 75,000 Americans are diagnosed with cancer each year, which is somehow related to alcohol, according to Scioli.
Dr. Nay Patak, the chief doctor of a doctor in medicine of health and lifestyle, noted that the study emphasizes a new, independent risk factor for pancreatic cancer.
“The important thing is to know that there is really no safe level of drinking when it comes to the risk of cancer,” Atlanta -based Fox News Digital told Fox News, which is also not involved in the study.

“This study enhances this message – but it also shows how complex these connections are and how we should continue to dig deeper into the role of alcohol and various habits for drinking in the development of cancer,” she added.
