Alcohol gives you a kick and cancer: Lancet/WHO : - Bad news | Study links alcohol consumption to cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and esophagus.
Tipplers beware: Alcohol leads to cancer of the mouth, throat, and food pipe. Prestigious international medical journal Oral Oncology has said it in its latest edition for the first time.
The study links alcohol consumption to cancers in the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT). This includes cancer of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and esophagus. "Cancer of the UADT is most common and it often leads to death. Even the WHO and Lancet reports talk about it," Chaturvedi said. He has been a major crusader in getting tobacco banned in the state.

The research has now become an important tool for Indian oncologists and experts who played a major role in bringing tobacco control in India. They are now gearing up to form a comprehensive alcohol control law and include it in government public health campaigns.
