Kim Y, et al. - Via performing a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies, researchers quantitatively assessed the link between alcohol consumption and colorectal cancer survival. They included 12 studies with 32,846 patients with colorectal cancer. Outcomes revealed a lower risk of all-cause mortality in correlation with light and moderate pre-diagnostic alcohol consumption vs no alcohol consumption. However, there appeared to be no significant correlation between heavy pre-diagnostic alcohol consumption and colorectal cancer survival. By type of alcohol, the investigators noted a lower risk of mortality, from all-causes and colorectal cancer, in correlation with wine consumption, but all-cause mortality was observed to be positively correlated with moderate liquor consumption.
