Marziliano A, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to review the literature on alcohol-related head and neck cancer (HNC) and determine gaps that represent areas for future examination. Research shows that alcohol consumption was not only linked to primary HNCs development but also to secondary cancers with continued alcohol intake, cancer recurrence, and other poor health outcomes. Evidence indicates that alcohol consumption has not only been linked to the development of primary HNCs, but also to secondary cancers with continued alcohol intake, cancer recurrences, and other poor health outcomes. Given this data, many organizations have called for alcohol reduction or avoidance, particularly among HNC survivors. Despite these strong recommendations, evidence suggests a continuing use of alcohol by HNC survivors. In the growing population of HNC survivors, there is a need to forge collaborations between clinicians, researchers, and social workers to address this alcohol consumption problem.
