Evidence Strengthens Connection Between Alcohol and Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers found people who drink more than 24 grams a day face a 10% to 30% higher pancreatic cancer risk.
- A University of Victoria study published in the International Journal of Alcohol and Drug Research found that consuming more than 24 grams of alcohol daily increases pancreatic cancer risk by 10 to 30 per cent.
- Lead author Jinhui Zhao explained the study adjusted for 'former drinker' bias, where people who quit drinking for health reasons are misclassified as abstainers, skewing previous research results.
- Pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest survival rates among all cancers, with only about 12 per cent of Canadians surviving five years after diagnosis, underscoring the significance of the findings.
- CISUR director Tim Naimi said researchers believe pancreatic cancer should be added to the World Health Organization's official list of alcohol-related cancers based on the evidence.
- Researchers identified a dose-response relationship showing pancreatic cancer risk increases as alcohol consumption rises, adding to growing evidence about alcohol's long-term health impacts.
