Following the Third Alcohol and Cancer Conference, this volume
compiles the most up-to-date research on the role of alcohol
consumption in carcinogenesis, from epidemiology to pathology
metabolism and stem cells. More specifically, it delves into the
effects of alcohol consumption and thyroid cancer, CD133+
progenitor cells, carcinogenic iron accumulation, developmental
morphogens, and cancer-inducing epigenetic changes. Alcohol and
Cancer: Proceedings of the Third International Conference is a
timely update to Biological Basis of Alcohol-Induced Cancer, which
followed the Second Alcohol and Cancer Conference, compiling
cutting-edge research from graduate students, young scientists, and
researchers. It is ideal for graduate students and researchers in
oncology, hepatology, epigenetics, and alcohol consumption.
The World Health Organization has identified chronic alcohol
consumption as one of the top ten risk factors for worldwide burden
of disease. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has
identified alcohol as carcinogenic to humans, including cancers of
the upper aerodigestive tract, colon, liver and breast. Alcohol's
actions may be direct e.g. effects on retinoic acid and one-carbon
metabolism, or indirect, through metabolites such as acetaldehyde
and reactive oxygen species or through various signaling pathways
that influence cell cycle and apoptosis that may contribute to
carcinogenesis. This report reviews the state of the art in
alcohol-related cancer research in ten chapters.
In the recent years, a significant amount of research has emerged
connecting the link between alcohol and cancer. The field has
rapidly advanced, especially since the complex connection between
alcohol and cancer has several unique sub areas that are being
investigated. This proceedings volume will contain chapters based
upon the presentation of the 2nd International Conference on
Alcohol and Cancer in Colorado, 2013. The various topics explore
the affects of alcohol on: liver and breast cancer; cell signaling
and cancer; stem cells; biomarkers and metabolomics; aerodigestive
cancers; cancer and the immune system and more.
