Cancer is a very common group of diseases. There are 700,000 cases of the disease reported each year, and about 350,000 persons die of these diseases. There is extensive literature and documentation relative to alcohol as a probable factor in the development of head, neck, and esophageal cancers among others. However, there is little in the literature relative to the interrelationship of alcohol and cancer in the area of cancer treatment. Dignity of the dying patient and his family is maintained, and home care is a vital component. While alcohol use is not generally written about, it is used as desired by the patient. A "Brompton's-type cocktail," a mixture of morphine, cocaine, and alcohol, forms a basis of pain control in English and many United States' hospices. One purpose in today's conference is to look at another lifestyle factor, alcohol, to determine its role alone or in conjunction with other factors in the causation of cancer. Are there high risk groups which need attention in alcohol cancer prevention programs?
癌症是一类非常常见的疾病。每年报告的癌症病例有70万例，约35万人死于这些疾病。关于酒精作为头颈癌和食管癌等癌症发病的一个可能因素，有大量的文献和记录。然而，在癌症治疗领域，关于酒精与癌症之间相互关系的文献却很少。临终患者及其家人的尊严得到维护，居家护理是一个重要组成部分。虽然一般不会专门提及饮酒问题，但患者可根据自身需求饮酒。一种由吗啡、可卡因和酒精混合而成的“布朗普顿鸡尾酒”，是英国和美国许多临终关怀机构控制疼痛的基础。今天会议的一个目的是探讨另一种生活方式因素——酒精，以确定其在癌症病因中单独或与其他因素共同作用时所起的作用。在酒精癌症预防项目中，是否存在需要关注的高危人群？
