Abstract
Alcohol use is one of the most important and potentially modifiable risk factors for cancer in Germany. The more and the longer a person drinks, the higher the risk of cancer. Even modest use of alcohol may increase cancer risk. Statistically, every German drinks more than 100 gram of alcohol per week; this amount is currently considered to be the limit of low-risk use. Alcohol is causally associated with oropharyngeal and larynx cancer, esophageal squamous cell cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer. People with long-term risky alcohol use should be encouraged to join programs of cancer screening. Alcohol cessation appears to be effective in reducing the alcohol-induced, increased cancer risk.
Alkoholkonsum zählt zu den wichtigsten vermeidbaren Krebsursachen in Deutschland. Und doch konsumiert der „statistische“ Bundesbürger weit mehr als die „risikoarme“ Menge von 100 Gramm Alkohol pro Woche. Je mehr und je länger jemand trinkt, umso größer ist das Krebsrisiko, nicht nur für die Leber, sondern auch für Mundhöhle, Pharynx, Larynx, Brust, Ösophagus und Dickdarm. Wie groß genau und wie sich Kofaktoren auswirken, zeigt dieser Beitrag.
