ALDH2 polymorphism and alcohol-related cancers in Asians: a public health perspective.

Journal of biomedical science - 3 Mar 2017

Chang Jeffrey S, Hsiao Jenn-Ren, Chen Che-Hong

Abstract excerpt

The occurrence of more than 200 diseases, including cancer, can be attributed to alcohol drinking. The global cancer deaths attributed to alcohol-consumption rose from 243,000 in 1990 to 337,400 in 2010. In 2010, cancer deaths due to alcohol consumption accounted for 4.2% of all cancer deaths. Strong epidemiological evidence has established the causal role of alcohol in the development of various cancers,...
