A meta-analysis on alcohol drinking and esophageal and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma risk
Tramacere, I., Pelucchi, C., Bagnardi, V., Rota, M., Scotti, L., Islami, F., Corrao, G., Boffetta, P., La Vecchia, C., Negri, E. Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:24:35 -0800
Background: In order to provide a precise quantification of the association between alcohol drinking and esophageal and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma risk, we conducted a meta-analysis of available data. Patients and methods: We identified 20 case–control and 4 cohort studies, including a total of 5500 cases. We derived meta-analytic estimates using random-effects models, taking into account correlation between estimates, and we carried out a dose–risk analysis using nonlinear random-effects meta-regression models. Results: The relative risk (RR) for drinkers versus nondrinkers was 0.96 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.85–1.09] overall, 0.87 (95% CI 0.74–1.01) for esophageal adenocarcinoma and 0.89 (95% CI 0.76–1.03) for gastric cardia adenocarcinoma. Compared with nondrinkers, the pooled RRs were 0.86 for light (≤1 drink per day), 0.90 for moderate (1 to <4 drinks per day), and 1.16 for heavy (≥4 drinks per day) alcohol drinking. The dose–risk model found a minimum at 25 g/day, and the curve was <1 up to 70 g/day. Conclusions: This meta-analysis provides definite evidence of an absence of association between alcohol drinking and esophageal and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma risk, even at higher doses of consumption.
