About the study The Million Women Study, a prospective research endeavor initiated in 1998, surveyed women attending breast cancer screenings across 66 centers in England and Scotland. Analyses on specific cancers considered additional factors like age at menarche and family history. Alcohol's association with cancer was further explored in subgroups divided by smoking, BMI, and MHT usage.
Significant associations were observed between increased alcohol consumption and several cancers. Notably, for each additional daily drink, the relative risk surged for oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma cancers, resulting in a combined relative risk of 1.38. Other significant associations with alcohol were found for breast, colorectal, pancreatic, and lung cancers.
Analyses regarding BMI and MHT use showed no significant variations in alcohol-associated RRs for any cancer.
