“…When compared with other cities in the developed countries such as America and Germany, the incidence rate of liver cancer in Beijing is still high [8] . High infection rates of HBV and HCV and high level consumption of alcohol in China may be attributed to high incidence rate of liver cancer in urban Beijing [3,26] .…”

Objective: To report the time trends of cancer incidence in urban Beijing from 1998 to 2007. Methods: All data were obtained from Beijing Cancer Registry from 1998-2007 in urban Beijing. Time trends of incidence rate of cancer were assessed by annual percentage change (APC) of age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) of world standard population during this 10-year period.Results: For all 156851 cancer cases combined, the incidence rate rose in both males and females, with an APC of 2.23% and 3.74%, respectively. The incidence rate of upper gastrointestinal cancers declined significantly, with an APC of -2.83% in esophageal cancer and -1.37% in male gastric cancer, while lower gastrointestinal cancer, such as colorectal cancer, increased with an APC of 4.08%. The rates of kidney and bladder cancer increased with an APC of 7.93% and 5.57%, respectively. For women, the APC continued to rise in breast cancer (4.98%), ovary cancer (6.16%), cervix uteri cancer (11.74%), corpus uteri cancer (6.96%) and thyroid gland cancer (13.39%). The rate of prostate cancer among men increased with an APC of 8.58%; the rate of lymphoma and leukemia increased with APC of 5.48% and 5.44%, respectively.Conclusion: Because of population aging and urban modernization, the cancer burden in Beijing has become more and more severe and similar to the western developed countries.

“…A positive association between alcohol and liver cancer is established (1). Liver cancer is highly prevalent in China, and it has been estimated to account for almost two-thirds of all alcohol-related neoplasms in that country (5). However, liver cancer is not analyzed here because of problems in the interpretation of results from epidemiological, mainly case-control, studies.…”

This review focuses on selected aspects of the relation between alcohol consumption and cancer risk. Heavy alcohol consumption (i.e., ≥4 drinks/day) is significantly associated with an increased risk of about 5-fold for oral and pharyngeal cancer and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, 2.5-fold for laryngeal cancer, 50% for colorectal and breast cancers, and 30% for pancreatic cancer. These estimates are based on a large number of epidemiological studies and are generally consistent across strata of several covariates. The evidence suggests that at low doses of alcohol consumption (i.e., ≤1 drink/day) the risk is also increased by about 20% for oral and pharyngeal cancer and 30% for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Thus, for these sites there is little evidence of a threshold effect. While consumption of fewer than 3 alcoholic drinks/wk is not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, an intake of 3 to 6 drinks/wk might already yield a (small) increase in risk. On the other hand, intakes up to 1 drink/day are not associated to the risk of laryngeal, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer. The positive association between alcohol consumption and the risk of head and neck cancers is independent from tobacco exposure.

“…Therefore, the aim of this study was to give a comprehensive understanding of the disease burden of cancer attributable to infection in mainland China. The current analysis was conducted as a part of a broader systematic evaluation, which was designed to estimate the numbers of cancer cases and deaths in China in 2005 which could be attributable to a range of demonstrated carcinogenic agents, including smoking [3], alcohol consumption [4], occupational exposures, nutritional, and anthropometric factors, etc.…”
