Uncovering the Connection Between Alcohol Use and Bowel Cancer in 2024:
By increasing public awareness of the risk factors and symptoms of bowel cancer during Cancer Awareness Month in 2024, we can promote early identification and enhance the prognosis for people who are impacted by the illness.Bowel cancer, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer, is a kind of cancer that affects the rectum and the colon, the large intestine. It happens when aberrant cells in the colon or rectum grow out of control, creating a tumor. This tumor poses a serious risk to one's life because it has the ability to infect nearby tissues and spread to other sections of the body. Although the precise origin of bowel cancer is unknown, risk factors for the disease include age, family history, and certain lifestyle choices like smoking and a diet heavy in processed foods.We all know today that alcohol is bad for us; among the dangerous illnesses it causes is cancer, particularly colorectal cancer. When we inquired about the connection between alcohol consumption and bowel cancer, Dr. Vinay Samuel Gaikwad, Director of Surgical Oncology (The Oncology Centre), CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, clarified that alcohol enters the intestinal tract and comes into direct contact with the mucosa lining the intestine, stomach, colon, and rectum. Alcohol decomposes into toxic compounds that can destroy your cells' DNA and expose them to mutations that can lead to cancer. Furthermore, drinking too much alcohol can lead to persistent inflammation in the digestive tract, which is another established risk factor for colon cancer.Alcohol's effects on hormones may also have a role in the development of cancer. Your odds can be increased by even modest alcohol consumption, and the risk increases with increased consumption.Although drinking alcohol increases your risk of colon cancer, not everyone who drinks will get colon cancer. But one of the most effective ways to lower your risk of developing this cancer is to take control of your health and cut back on alcohol.
