The influence of alcohol consumption on worldwide trends in mortality from upper aerodigestive tract cancers in men
Regular drinking of alcohol may be one of the factors responsible for the rising number of deaths from cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract in men worldwide.
This study analyzed the connection between alcohol intake and a man's risk of dying from cancer affecting the upper aerodigestive tract. Researchers evaluated alcohol consumption and mortality records obtained from 25 different countries.
Researchers attributed the high death toll from cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus found among men in different countries to increase in the rate of alcohol drinking. This study recommended that promoting policies aimed at reducing and halting alcohol consumption over time may help significantly slash the high mortality burden from cancer of upper aerodigestive tract in men globally.
