Alcohol drinking is an established risk factor for several malignancies, and it is a potentially modifiable risk factor for cancer. The Cancer Prevention Committee of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) believes that a proactive stance by the Society to minimize excessive exposure to alcohol has important implications for cancer prevention. In addition, the role of alcohol drinking on outcomes in patients with cancer is in its formative stages, and ASCO can play a key role by generating a research agenda. Also, ASCO could provide needed leadership in the cancer community on this issue. In the issuance of this statement, ASCO joins a growing number of international organizations by establishing a platform to support effective public health strategies in this area. The goals of this statement are to: • Promote public education about the risks between alcohol abuse and certain types of cancer; • Support policy efforts to reduce the risk of cancer through evidence-based strategies that prevent excessive use of alcohol; • Provide education to oncology providers about the influence of excessive alcohol use and cancer risks and treatment complications, including clarification of conflicting evidence; and • Identify areas of needed research regarding the relationship between alcohol use and cancer risk and outcomes.

酒精与癌症：美国临床肿瘤学会的声明

饮酒是多种恶性肿瘤的既定风险因素，也是癌症的潜在可改变风险因素。美国临床肿瘤学会 (ASCO) 的癌症预防委员会认为，该协会采取的积极态度尽量减少过度接触酒精对癌症预防具有重要意义。此外，饮酒对癌症患者预后的影响正处于形成阶段，ASCO 可以通过制定研究议程发挥关键作用。此外，ASCO 可以在这个问题上为癌症社区提供必要的领导。在本声明的发布中，ASCO 加入了越来越多的国际组织，建立了一个支持该领域有效公共卫生战略的平台。本声明的目标是：• 促进关于酗酒和某些类型癌症之间风险的公众教育；• 通过防止过度饮酒的循证战略，支持降低癌症风险的政策努力；• 向肿瘤学提供者提供关于过度饮酒和癌症风险以及治疗并发症的影响的教育，包括澄清相互矛盾的证据；• 确定有关饮酒与癌症风险和结果之间关系的需要研究的领域。包括澄清相互矛盾的证据；• 确定有关饮酒与癌症风险和结果之间关系的需要研究的领域。包括澄清相互矛盾的证据；• 确定有关饮酒与癌症风险和结果之间关系的需要研究的领域。
