The epidemiological evidence relating alcohol consumption and lung cancer is reviewed. Four correlation studies have shown a relationship between alcohol, particularly beer, consumption and lung cancer. Beer consumption was a risk factor in one case-control study. Eight out of ten prospective studies show alcoholics and high alcohol consumers to be at greater risk of lung cancer. Not all of the increased risk in these studies is explainable in terms of confounding by tobacco consumption. There is some animal evidence which supports the effects of alcohol on the likelihood of developing lung cancer.
本文综述了饮酒与肺癌之间的流行病学证据。四项相关性研究表明，饮酒，尤其是饮用啤酒，与肺癌之间存在关联。在一项病例对照研究中，饮用啤酒是一个风险因素。十项前瞻性研究中有八项表明，酗酒者和大量饮酒者患肺癌的风险更高。这些研究中并非所有增加的风险都可以用烟草消费的混杂因素来解释。有一些动物实验证据支持酒精对患肺癌可能性的影响。
