The Role of Ethanol in the Etiology of Primary Liver Cancer

  • Chapter
Advances in Nutritional Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Nutritional Research ((ANUR,volume 7))

Abstract

Although emphasis has been placed on the role of chemicals in carcinogenesis, recent theories have attributed the etiology of a large percentage of cancers to a variety of extrinsic factors. Included in these factors are stress, diet, tobacco, and ethanol (Doll and Peto, 1981). For the most part, these factors do not initiate cancer but influence the preferential selection and growth of carcinogen-altered cells. Thus, they determine the rate of tumor development. Therefore, by alteration of these factors, the development of many tumors could be retarded to such an extent that mortality becomes significantly influenced. The possible mechanisms by which these factors alter the “material continuity” of carcinogenesis (Foulds, 1975) are of interest for their potential in inhibiting or promoting this disease process.
