Alcohol may Increase Risk of Prostate Cancer
Men who consume a lot of alcohol regularly have a risk of prostate cancer, a study revealed. The results of the study also said, the use of large amounts of alcohol also reduces the effectiveness of the use of drugs that can reduce the risk of prostate cancer finasteride for some men.
The research was based on data from the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) is an institution of national cancer research from the United States is also studying the benefits of the drug finasteride has been used to treat men who suffer from enlarged prostate to urinate smoothly. Studies show that finasteride may reduce the possibility of prostate cancer up to 25%.
Until now researchers are still watching the man who included in the study. Further research is still using PCPT data
In the study, researchers from the University of California to evaluate the consumption of alcohol and drinking habits of 10,920 men who participated in the PCPT. The study was performed to determine the link between the number, frequency and type of alcohol drunk per person and the risk of prostate cancer.
Men who drank 50 grams or more of alcohol per day, the risk of prostate cancer or high levels of heavy grade prostate cancer. Cancer types is a dangerous one in the disease.
Drink as much as 50 grams, is generally equal to four glasses of beer or four glasses of wine or 3.5 liquorice drinks.
Men who drink alcohol 50 grams or more per day each week also have significantly higher risk for other aggressive disease. The habit of drinking beer with a large number, apparently higher risk than other alcoholic beverages.
The finding differs from several studies conducted on alcohol intake and prostate cancer risk ever undertaken. The researchers said it needs to do further study to confirm these findings.
Taking the drug finasteride reduces the risk of cancer seems to low-level light alcohol drinkers, but shows a very small effect for the heavy alcohol drinkers. Because alcohol prevents the possibility of preventive effects of the drug.
The researchers revealed, the possibility of alcohol affects several types of enzymes the body needs to process the drug.
Positive association between moderate alcohol consumption and the risk of prostate cancer in a cohort of older men. Liquor consumption, rather than wine or beer consumption, appeared to account for this increased risk. The consideration of past alcohol consumption as far back as college time did not appreciably alter our results. This suggests that any effect of alcohol consumption may occur later in the development of prostate cancer. Alternatively, those who drink tend to continue drinking, so the observed effects on prostate cancer may reflect a long-term consequence of alcohol consumption. Further studies should seek to capture lifetime patterns of total and beverage-specific alcohol consumption to clarify these issues in relation to the risk of prostate cancer risk.
Definitely Alcohol increases the cancer..If regularly take the alcohol most chances to going toward the cancer.
Given research in this post is absolutely true “Alcohol may Increase Risk of Prostate Cancer”.
