4 Alcohol Beverages Drinks made by fermenting fruit juices, sugars, and fermentable carbohydrates with yeast to form alcohol. The predominant types of commercially produced alcoholic beverages are beer, wine and spirits. The main components of all alcoholic beverages are ethanol and water; beers also contain substantial amounts of carbohydrates. Some components and occasional contaminants include known and suspected carcinogens. Beers and wines also contain vitamins and other nutrients which are usually absent from distilled spirits.

8 Prevalence of Alcohol Use Almost half of Americans aged 12 and older reported being current drinkers of alcohol in the 2000 survey (46.6%). This translates to an estimated 104 million people. About 35% of the adult US population abstains from alcohol use, about 60% are occasional to moderate drinkers, and about 5 to 7 % are diagnosable with alcohol abuse or dependence (NIAAA, 1997). Of the some 16 million Americans who meet the diagnostic criteria for abuse or dependence, only about 1.5 million seek and receive treatment (SAMHSA, 2003). Alcohol consumption causes some 100,000 deaths annually in the US, including more than 16,000 alcohol related traffic fatalities (Meister et al., 2000; NIAAA, 2000).

16 Alcohol and Cancer Nearly 100 years ago, Lamy noticed an increased incidence of esophageal cancer in absinth drinkers (Lamy, 1910). Since then, extensive epidemiological data has accumulated which identified alcohol as a major risk factor for UADT cancer Furthermore, substantial epidemiological evidence accrued over the past 50 years has shown that alcohol contributes to the development of these cancers. In 1988, IARC concluded that there is sufficient evidence that alcohol beverage are carcinogenic in humans. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying alcohol-related cancer development remain largely unclear.

25 Animal & Human researches Animal studies Correlation Studies Cohort and Case-Control Studies
Slide 26-

26 Animal Study The results of animal experiment on alcohol and cancer depend on the experimental design, type of carcinogen used, its time, duration of exposure, dosage and administration route. When alcohol applied locally to oral and esophageal mucosa, it increases the occurrence of tumor probably due to irritant effect of alcohol (Seitz et al, 1998) When ethanol is given systematically, stimulating effect on chemical induced carcinogenesis is noted. (Seitz et al, 1998) When alcohol is given chronically to rodents have shown that life-time exposure to alcohol do not develop more cancer than do controls. Most of animal studies were expected to find HCC, however, they found the rate of extra hepatic tumor increased, especially UADT.
Slide 27-

27 Correlation Studies Per capita alcohol consumption was associated with cancer mortality, including cancer of esophagus (Tuyns et al, 1976), gastrointestine (Konoet al, 1979), larynx (Tuyns et al, 1976), and pancreas (Qiao et al, 1988). Time trends was found in per capita alcohol consumption and mortality from esophageal and laryngeal cancer (Tuyns et al, 1976), and colorectal cancer (McMichael et al, 1979).

29 Cancers of Upper Aerodigestive Tract (UADT) Alcohol strong risk factor for cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx, esophagus, and larynx Earliest report,1836 by Boston surgeon, J.C. Warren who described a case of tongue cancer in a tobacco chewer with a “predisposition” due to chronic use of spirits Earliest “association”, an excess of esophageal cancer among alcoholics in Paris in 1910 25-80% are attributable to alcohol Smoking also strong risk factor; risk greatest for heavy drinkers and smokers
Slide 30-

30 Cancer of Oral Cavity and Pharynx The mucosa of the oral cavity and pharynx (excluding the nasopharynx) comes into close contact with alcohol upon ingestion. Biological plausible that alcohol directly affect carcinogenesis in these sites via physiochemical or metabolic effects. Epidemiological studies clearly indicate that drinking of alcoholic beverages is causally related to cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx (excluding the nasopharynx). There is no indication that the effect is dependent on type of beverage.

35 Cancer of Esophagus Alcohol drinking has been classified as a risk factor for esophageal cancer based on data from epidemiologic studies, although ethanol in its pure form does not act as a carcinogen in experimental models. Potential reasons are (1)alcohol acts as a solvent for tobacco carcinogens or that impurities in alcoholic drinks are the carcinogenic agents. (2) exposure to high levels of acetaldehyde is responsible for the increased cancer risk. However, alcohol does not appear to be an important risk factor for adenocarcinoma of esophagus.

Slide 41-

41 Cancer of Stomach Stomach is exposed directly to ingested ethanol Although the concentration of alcohol is diluted by gastric juice, it is biological plausible that stomach cancer risk could be increased by some direct carcinogenic effect of ethanol upon the mucosa In view of the overall lack of excess risk for stomach cancer in the cohort studies, the inconsistent results of the case-control studies, and the inadequate control for dietary and socioeconomic factors, there is little in the aggregate data to suggest a causal role for drinking of alcoholic beverages in stomach cancer.

43 Cancer of Liver There have been reports over many decades of associations between chronic alcohol abuse, alcoholic liver cirrhosis and primary liver cancer. Potential confounding due to hepatitis B virus, tobacco smoking and aflatoxin was not explored in all the studies; whenever it was, it did not alter the findings qualitatively. The available results, taken together, indicate that drinking of alcoholic beverages is causally related to liver cancer.

46 Cancer of Colorectum Although numerous studies reported a positive association between alcohol drinking and colorectal cancer risk, it remains unclear whether alcohol drinking is causally related to carcinogenesis of the colorectum Since ethanol absorbed efficiently from within the stomach and upper intestine, it is unlikely that ethanol has direct effect upon the large bowel. However, some researches suggested alcohol consumption behavior may modified the colorectal cancer risk Colorectal cancer is common in developed countries; modest increases in risk can have important public health implications

61 Cancer of Lung There is evidence that alcohol can act as a prooxidant in tissues, including lung tissue, and on lipids, including lung membrane lipids. Alcohol can induce the expression of enzymes that are related to carcinogen metabolism, and compounds other than ethanol that are contained in alcoholic beverages may have carcinogenic effects.

Slide 67-

67 What is “a Drink”? Despite the differences in concentration, the average intake of ethanol per drink is approximately constant across beverage types. A standard drink is: One 12-ounce bottle of beer* or wine cooler One 5-ounce glass of wine 1.5 ounces of 80-proof+ distilled spirits. * Different beers have different alcohol content. Malt liquor has a higher alcohol content than most other brewed beverages. + 80-proof== 40% ABV (alcohol by volume)

74 Alcohol Flushing and Cancer A study in Japanese alcoholics showed that the amount of mutagenic acetaldehyde-derived DNA adducts in white blood cells was significantly higher in ALDH2-deficient heterozygotes than in individuals with active ALDH2. In this study, while the two groups were matched for alcohol consumption, the ALDH2-deficient group consumed slightly less alcohol on average than the controls. (Matsuda et al, Chem Res Toxicol, 2006) Also, ALDH2 heterozygotes who drank alcohol had higher levels of white blood cells with chromosomal damage than drinkers with active ALDH2 (Ishikawa et al, Mutat Res , 2007) the 2007 IARC Working Group on alcohol and cancer specifically noted the above evidences supporting a causal role for acetaldehyde in alcohol-related esophageal

78 ALDH2 Deficiency Increases the Risk of Alcohol-Related Squamous Cell Esophageal Cancer Case control studies in Japan and Taiwan have consistently demonstrated a strong link between the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and alcohol consumption in low-activity ALDH2 heterozygotes, with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 3.7 to 18.1 after adjustment for alcohol consumption. Most studies show ORs of over 10 for increased risk in heterozygotes who are heavy drinkers. In the Japanese and Taiwanese studies, a strikingly high proportion (58%–69%) of the excessive risk for esophageal cancer is attributable to drinking by low-activity ALDH2 heterozygous individuals. Brooks PJ et al. PLoS Med. 2009 Mar 24;6(3):e50.
Slide 79-

79 Moderate Alcohol Drinking Many of these studies have evaluated dose response relationships with levels of ethanol consumption and the various outcomes of interest. U-shape or J-shape were found in alcohol intake and several disease incidence. Many studies found “moderate” drinking is the only level of drinking that has been shown to have potential health benefits, however, the level of “moderate” or “heavy” have not been defined consistently across studies (Gaziano et al., 2000; Klatsky, 2002; NIAAA, 1992). Further, they are not always consistent with the definition of moderate drinking in the USDA/DHHS Dietary Guidelines (2000) no more than one drink per day for women and no more than two drinks per day for men
Slide 80-

80 Complication individual differences – BAC and metabolism Intensity & frequency- (3 drinks in one hour will produce a much higher BAC than 3 drinks over the course of 3 hours ), and therefore different effect Confounding and modification by lifestyle variables also could be a factor in the observed health differences between drinkers and nondrinkers Drinking pattern and size is different through out countries and occasions Also, depend on outcome of interest, co-morbid conditions, age, gender, family history, or specific health condition.
Slide 81-

81 Recommendations Government dietary guidelines : Except for those individuals at particular risk, consumption of 2 drinks a day for men and 1 for women is unlikely to increase health risks. As risks for some conditions and diseases do increase at higher levels of consumption, men should be cautioned to not exceed 4 drinks on any day and women to not exceed 3 on any day Note: However, “moderate alcohol use” should not be construed as “healthy alcohol use”.
Slide 82-

82 Moderate drinking and cancer Low to moderate alcohol consumption(3 drink/day) in women increases the risk of certain cancers (oral cavity and pharynx, esophagus, larynx, rectum, breast, and liver, and with a decreased risk for thyroid cancer, non–Hodgkin lymphoma, and renal cell carcinoma ). For every additional drink regularly consumed per day, the increase incidence in developed countries is estimated to 15 cancers per 1000 women up to age 751. 1 Allen NE et al.

86 FACT!! A 1996 study of children ages 9 to 11 found that children were more familiar with Budweiser’s television frogs than Kellogg’s Tony the Tiger, the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, or Smokey the Bear A study of 12-year-olds found that children who were more aware of beer advertising held more favorable views on drinking and expressed an intention to drink more often as adults than did children who were less knowledgeable about the ads. A recent economic analysis assessed the effects of alcohol advertising on youth drinking behaviors by comparing federally reported levels of youth drinking with detailed reports on alcohol advertising in local markets during the same years. The analysis concluded that a complete ban on alcohol advertising could reduce monthly levels of youth drinking by 24% and youth binge drinking by about 42%. The Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth found that, in 2001, youth in the United States were 93 times more likely to see an ad promoting alcohol than an industry ad discouraging underage drinking. In fact, compared to underage youth, adults age 21 and over were more than twice as likely to see advertising discouraging underage drinking

87 Under-Age Drinking and Cancer Researchers start to look into the issues regarding under age drinking So far, very few studies address this on cancer, however, some researchers suspected drinking alcohol in younger age may associated with early onset of certain alcohol-related cancer.
